FAQs
What material is the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume made from?
The swim costume is made from soft-touch stretch polyester fabric, known for its durability and resistance to chlorine and fading.
Does this swim costume offer sun protection?
Polyester fabrics inherently offer some degree of UV protection. However, specific UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings are not provided. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen in conjunction with your swimwear for comprehensive sun protection.
How should I wash my Regatta Sakari Swim Costume?
To ensure longevity, hand wash your costume in cool water with a mild detergent after each use. Rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze out excess water, and line dry in the shade. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.
Is the tummy control feature very restrictive?
The tummy control is designed to offer comfortable support and create a flattering, smooth silhouette without being overly restrictive. It aims to provide confidence and a streamlined look while allowing for ease of movement.
Can I wear this swim costume for competitive swimming?
The Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is designed for comfort, support, and style in leisure swimming, beach activities, and poolside relaxation. While durable, it is not specifically engineered for the high-performance demands of competitive swimming.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to refer to the Regatta brand's official size chart to find your best fit. Consider your measurements, especially around the bust and waist, and account for the supportive cup and tummy control features.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy or has lost elasticity over time.
Ensure you are consistently rinsing the costume immediately after every use to remove chlorine or saltwater. Always hand wash with mild detergent and avoid high heat during drying, as these factors are common causes of elastic degradation. Consider using a swimwear-specific detergent for optimal fabric care.
Tummy control feels too tight or uncomfortable during wear.
Allow for a few wears to 'break in' the fabric, as it may slightly relax with use. If discomfort persists, double-check your measurements against the brand's size chart to ensure the correct size was purchased. For continuous discomfort, you might prefer a style with less intensive control.
Colour appears to be fading or becoming dull.
Always rinse your swim costume promptly after exposure to chlorinated or salt water. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying or storage can also cause fading. Dry in the shade and store away from direct light when not in use.
Stitching appears to be coming undone.
Gently inspect the area. If it's a minor loose thread, carefully snip it. For more significant issues, review the product's warranty information. Proper care, especially avoiding harsh washing methods and excessive stretching, can prevent stitch damage.

Care:
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the fabric quality, elasticity, and vibrant pattern of your swim costume. Follow these guidelines for optimal longevity:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swim costume thoroughly in cool, clean water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, sand, and sun lotion.
- Hand Wash: Gently hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates or swimwear. Avoid harsh soaps or bleach.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can damage the fabric fibers and elasticity.
- Line Dry: Lay the costume flat or hang it to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colours and degrade elastic over time.
- Avoid Heat: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. High heat can permanently damage the stretch fabric and overall fit.
- Store Properly: Ensure the costume is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew and odors.
