FAQs
What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for this swimsuit?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber engineered for exceptional chlorine resistance. This means your swimsuit will maintain its shape, fit, and color up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, making it highly durable for frequent pool use.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming or training?
Yes, its racer-back design for freedom of movement, shape-retentive fabric, and high chlorine resistance make it an excellent choice for regular swim training, lap swimming, and competitive practice sessions where durability and performance are key.
What is the fabric composition of the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining sustainability with high-performance elasticity and durability.
How do I ensure the best fit for this boyleg swimsuit?
The swimsuit should fit snugly but allow full range of motion without feeling restrictive. Refer to the size guide (if available) and choose your usual UK dress size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for compression versus comfort.
Can I tumble dry this swimsuit?
No, it is strongly recommended to air dry your swimsuit. Tumble drying or exposing it to high heat can damage the LYCRA® fibers, leading to loss of elasticity and shape, and potentially reducing its lifespan.
What makes this swimsuit an environmentally conscious choice?
The inclusion of 82% Recycled Nylon in its fabric composition makes this swimsuit a more sustainable option, helping to reduce reliance on virgin materials and minimize environmental impact associated with new fabric production.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels stretched out or loses shape quickly.
Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully, especially rinsing after each use and air drying. Exposure to high heat (tumble drying, direct sun) or harsh chemicals can degrade the LYCRA® fibers. If the issue persists, double-check your size; a swimsuit that is too small can be overstretched.
Color appears to be fading prematurely.
While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber offers superior chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh pool chemicals or strong sunlight without proper rinsing can still affect color. Always rinse your suit in cold water immediately after swimming and wash according to instructions.
Fabric develops pilling or rough patches.
Pilling often occurs from friction against rough surfaces (e.g., pool decks, slides) or abrasive washing. Avoid sitting on rough surfaces and consider washing your swimsuit in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle to minimize friction.
The swimsuit feels restrictive or uncomfortable during movement.
Although designed for comfort and freedom, an incorrect size can lead to discomfort. Re-evaluate your size; it might be too small, causing compression in unintended areas. Ensure the racer-back straps sit comfortably on your shoulders without digging in.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your swimsuit, especially given its LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ composition:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly in cool, clean water to remove chlorine, salt, or body oils.
- Machine Wash: The swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a mild detergent.
- Use a Laundry Bag: To protect the fabric and prevent snagging, consider placing the swimsuit in a mesh laundry bag before washing.
- Avoid Bleach and Harsh Detergents: These can degrade the LYCRA® fibers and reduce the suit's elasticity and colorfastness.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry your swimsuit by laying it flat or hanging it in the shade. Direct sunlight and high heat from a dryer can damage the fabric and elasticity.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough pool decks or surfaces, as this can cause fabric pilling or damage.
