Product Information

Full details

This Slazenger LYCRA XTRA LIFE Boyleg Swimming Suit in Blue, size 7-8, is designed for young female swimmers seeking durability and comfort. Its key benefit is the advanced LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber, offering up to ten times longer resistance to chlorine damage compared to standard elastane. A minor consideration is that it's specifically designed for younger age groups, limiting its use for older swimmers.

FAQs

What makes LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber special?

LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen, offering up to 10 times greater durability compared to ordinary elastane swimwear fabrics. This means the suit maintains its shape and elasticity for longer.

Is this suit suitable for competitive swimming?

While designed for durability and comfort during swimming, its specific cut and material composition are best suited for training and recreational swimming. For highly competitive levels, specialized racing suits may offer different performance characteristics.

What does 'Boyleg' mean for the fit?

The 'Boyleg' style refers to the leg cut, which extends slightly longer than a standard bikini bottom, offering more coverage and a secure, sporty fit.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for children's swimwear. Measure your child's chest, waist, and hips and compare these measurements to the chart. For this specific item, the size is UK 7-8.

Can this suit be worn in the sea?

Yes, it can be worn in the sea. However, it is highly recommended to rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water immediately after swimming in saltwater to remove any salt residue that could degrade the fabric over time.

What is the fabric composition?

The fabric is composed of 82% Recycled Polyester and 18% Lycra.

How should I wash the swimming suit?

You can machine wash the suit at 40 degrees Celsius with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Always rinse the suit in cool, fresh water before washing.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight after first wear

This is normal due to the stretch-fit fabric. The suit should adapt to the body after a short period of wear or a gentle rinse. If it remains uncomfortably tight, double-check the size against the sizing chart.

Fading color after a few washes

Ensure the suit is washed according to the care instructions (40 degrees, similar colors, no bleach). Rinsing immediately after swimming helps remove chlorine that can cause fading.

Fabric losing elasticity quickly

This is unlikely with LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber. Ensure the garment is not exposed to excessive heat (e.g., high spin cycles, tumble drying, ironing) and is rinsed thoroughly after each use.
