FAQs
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While durable and designed for freedom of movement, this swimsuit is generally intended for fitness and recreational swimming, as well as water aerobics. For competitive racing, specialized race suits are often preferred for their aerodynamic properties.
Can I use this swimsuit in saltwater?
Yes, the swimsuit is suitable for saltwater environments. However, it's crucial to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prolong its life and prevent salt damage.
How long should this swimsuit last with regular use?
With proper care, thanks to its LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, this swimsuit is designed to last up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, effectively resisting chlorine breakdown. Individual lifespan depends on frequency of use and adherence to care instructions.
Does the boyleg cut ride up during active swimming?
The boyleg cut is designed to provide stable and comfortable coverage, minimizing ride-up during active swimming. Its shape-retentive fabric helps keep it securely in place, allowing you to focus on your activity.
What does 'shape retentive fabric' mean for my swimsuit?
It means the fabric is engineered to bounce back to its original shape after stretching. This ensures the swimsuit maintains its fit, support, and overall appearance over time, even with regular wear and wash cycles, preventing it from becoming baggy or loose.
Is this swimsuit quick-drying?
Swimsuits made with nylon and Lycra blends are generally designed to dry relatively quickly compared to other materials. For best results, air-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels stretched out or loses shape prematurely.
Ensure you are properly rinsing the suit immediately after each use to remove chlorine or saltwater. Follow care instructions precisely, especially regarding machine washing temperature (40 degrees Celsius, gentle cycle) and air drying in the shade. While LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ offers superior durability, improper care can still affect its lifespan.
Color fading on the swimsuit.
Although the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ offers enhanced resistance to fading, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals (like concentrated chlorine) or intense direct sunlight can still cause some color degradation over time. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use and air dry in the shade, away from direct sun.
Uncomfortable fit or chafing during activity.
Verify you have the correct size for your body. If the suit is too small, it can pull and chafe; if too large, it can bunch and rub. Ensure the racer-back straps are positioned correctly and not twisted. A proper fit should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing for full range of motion. If discomfort persists, consider if a different cut might better suit your body type.

Care Instructions
Following these care guidelines will help maximize the lifespan and performance of your swimsuit:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly in cool, fresh water. This is crucial for removing chlorine, salt, or body oils that can degrade the fabric.
- Machine Wash: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (warm water). Use a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can break down the Lycra fibers.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Aggressive wringing can damage the fabric's elasticity.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat (e.g., from radiators or tumble dryers), which can damage the Lycra fibers and cause color fading.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended as high heat can damage the fabric.
