FAQs

What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for the swimming suit?

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber designed to provide enhanced durability and resistance. It helps the swimming suit withstand the damaging effects of chlorine, sunscreens, lotions, and UV exposure, allowing it to last up to 10 times longer than traditional swimwear fabrics.

Is this swimming suit suitable for daily use?

Yes, its chlorine-resistant properties and durable construction make it ideal for frequent and daily use, such as swimming lessons, school swimming, or regular recreational activities.

What is the material composition of the suit?

The suit is made from 82% Recycled Polyester and 18% Lycra, combining sustainability with stretch and durability.

Can this suit be worn in saltwater or lakes?

Yes, the suit is suitable for use in saltwater and freshwater bodies. However, it is crucial to rinse it thoroughly with clean tap water immediately after use to remove any salt, sand, or environmental residues.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

The suit is available in standard children's UK sizing. It's best to refer to a size chart provided by the retailer. If your child is between sizes, consider their build and how snug they prefer their swimwear to be.

Does this swimming suit offer UV protection?

Info needed: The product description does not explicitly state a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. While the fabric inherently offers some sun protection, it's always recommended to use additional sun protection measures like sunscreen and shade.

Troubleshooting

Suit appears to be losing elasticity or degrading quickly.

Ensure you are rinsing the suit thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each use. Verify washing instructions (40 degrees Celsius, no bleach/softener) are being followed. High heat during washing or drying can also affect elasticity.

Color seems to be fading.

While LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ resists chlorine, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight or harsh chemicals can still affect color. Always air dry in the shade and avoid strong detergents. Rinse after every use.

Suit feels uncomfortable or chafes.

Ensure the suit is the correct size. A suit that is too small or too large can cause discomfort. Check seams for any irregularities. Wearing the suit for a short period in the water may help it conform to the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This swimming suit requires no complex setup. Simply put it on as standard swimwear before entering the water. Ensure it fits snugly but comfortably to allow for optimal movement and to minimize drag.

Compatibility

This suit is designed for female children in the specified age group (e.g., 9-10 years). It is compatible with all standard aquatic environments, including chlorinated swimming pools, fresh water, and saltwater. Its durable construction makes it suitable for regular use.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your Slazenger swimming suit:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse the suit thoroughly with cool, fresh water.
  2. Machine Wash: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius (warm water). Use a gentle cycle.
  3. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the LYCRA® fibers.
  4. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the suit flat or hang it to air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can damage the fabric's elasticity and color.
  5. Storage: Ensure the suit is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor.
