FAQs
What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for my swimsuit?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a premium fiber known for its exceptional resistance to chlorine, UV rays, and degradation from lotions or oils. This means your swimsuit will maintain its shape, fit, and color up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily swimming?
Yes, its design with shape-retentive fabric, ultra-comfy fit, and superior chlorine resistance makes it ideal for frequent and daily swimming sessions, including fitness swimming and aqua aerobics.
What is the fabric composition of the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining durability and stretch with an environmentally conscious material choice.
Can I tumble dry this swimsuit?
No, it is not recommended to tumble dry this swimsuit. To maintain the integrity of the fabric's elasticity and shape, always air dry it in the shade, away from direct heat.
Does the swimsuit offer UV protection?
While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber inherently resists UV degradation to prolong the garment's life, for personal skin protection, always apply a high-SPF sunscreen when exposed to the sun.
How do I choose the correct size?
The swimsuit is available in standard UK women's dress sizes. It's generally recommended to choose your usual dress size for a comfortable and secure fit. If you are between sizes, consider opting for the larger size for more comfort, or the smaller size for a snugger, more performance-oriented fit.
Troubleshooting
My swimsuit feels loose after only a few wears.
While the fabric is shape retentive, ensure you selected the correct size upon purchase. If it felt snug initially, repeated exposure to extreme heat (like hot tubs or direct sunlight for drying) can sometimes affect elasticity. Always follow care instructions for optimal fabric integrity.
The color seems to be fading prematurely.
Although the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber offers superior chlorine resistance, improper care can still lead to fading. Always rinse your swimsuit with fresh water immediately after use and follow the specified machine wash temperature of 40 degrees. Avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
The fabric appears to be snagging or pilling.
Snagging or pilling can occur if the swimsuit rubs against rough surfaces like textured pool decks, concrete, or abrasive seating. Be cautious when sitting or leaning on such surfaces to preserve the fabric's smooth finish.

This swimsuit requires no setup beyond choosing the correct size for your body. It is designed for adult females and is compatible with all standard aquatic environments. To ensure the longevity and performance of your Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove chlorine, salt, or sunscreen residues.
- Machine Wash: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors.
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach as it can damage the LYCRA® fibers and fabric.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as excessive heat can degrade the fabric's elasticity and shape retention.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces (like pool edges or concrete) which can cause pilling or snagging.
