FAQs
What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber different from regular elastane?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen lotions, lasting up to 10 times longer than ordinary elastane swimwear. It helps the fabric retain its shape and color.
How should I wash this swimsuit?
Machine wash your swimsuit at 40 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Always rinse it in cold, fresh water after each use.
Can I tumble dry the swimsuit?
No, do not tumble dry. It is best to reshape the suit while damp and dry it flat or on a line, away from direct sunlight.
What is the fabric composition of this swimsuit?
The fabric composition is 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While it offers good performance and durability for regular swimming, its basic design focuses on longevity and comfort rather than advanced hydrodynamic features often found in competitive racing suits.
What sizes are available?
This particular listing is for size L (UK 14). Other sizes and colors may be available in the Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Basic Swimsuit range.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The swimsuit should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight, allowing for full range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity quickly
Ensure the swimsuit is properly rinsed with fresh water after every use to remove chlorine. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully.
Color fading
Avoid drying the swimsuit in direct sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly after use and wash with a mild detergent as per care instructions.
Fabric feels stiff or rough
This could be due to mineral buildup from pool water. Rinse thoroughly and consider a gentle hand wash with a swimwear-specific detergent. Ensure complete rinsing.
Fit is too tight or too loose after initial wear
Check the size guide before purchase. While the suit is shape-retentive, extreme temperatures or improper washing can affect fit. Ensure correct washing and drying procedures are followed.
