FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet radiation, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Is this swim costume suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable and supportive, this costume is designed more for recreational swimming and lounging. Its design features like tummy control and padded cups prioritize comfort and style over hydrodynamic performance required for competitive swimming.
Can I machine wash this swim costume?
For best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity, hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended. Machine washing, especially with harsh cycles or high temperatures, can damage the stretch fabric and padding.
Does the tummy control feature feel restrictive?
The tummy control is integrated with illusion panelling and soft-touch stretch fabric, designed to offer a smoothing effect without feeling overly restrictive. It aims for comfortable shaping rather than compression.
What materials are used in this swim costume?
The main fabric is 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane (200gsm). Any seersucker stripe fabric consists of 51% polyester, 33% polyamide, and 16% elastane.
How do I choose the correct size?
The costume is available in standard UK dress sizes. It is recommended to refer to the Regatta size chart for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit.
Is this costume suitable for sensitive skin?
The soft-touch stretch fabric is designed for comfort. However, individual reactions to materials can vary. The recycled polyester and elastane blend is generally well-tolerated.
Does it come in other patterns or colors?
Yes, the Sakari Swim Costume range may be available in other patterns (like plain or animal print) and colors, although this specific variant is Floral Blue. Check product listings for other options.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the sliders on the fully adjustable straps until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
Fabric appears stretched or misshapen after swimming.
Ensure you are rinsing the costume thoroughly after each use and allowing it to dry flat in the shade. Avoid wringing or machine drying, which can damage the elastane.
Color seems to be fading.
Minimize prolonged exposure to strong chlorine and direct sunlight. Always rinse immediately after use and dry in the shade.
Lack of desired shaping or support.
While the costume offers tummy control and padded cups, it is non-wired. Ensure the adjustable straps are tightened adequately for optimal support. If it's a sizing issue, consider if a different size might offer a better fit.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Regatta Sakari Swim Costume, follow these care steps:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse thoroughly in cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and sand.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist, as this can damage the fabric and shape.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay flat to dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors and degrade elastane.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces (e.g., concrete, rocks) as this can cause pilling or snagging.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
