Product Information
Full details
This Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE ™ Basic Swimsuit in Green (UK 12) is designed for adult women seeking a durable and comfortable option for swimming and beach activities. Its key benefit is the enhanced longevity provided by LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, which resists chlorine up to 10 times longer than standard elastane. A minor consideration is that it's a basic style, offering core functionality rather than extensive design features. Key features include shape-retentive fabric, a scoop back for freedom of movement, and chlorine resistance.

FAQs
What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber different?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen lotions, allowing it to last up to 10 times longer than ordinary elastane while retaining its shape and fit.
How do I ensure the longest life for my swimsuit?
Rinse your swimsuit in cold, fresh water after each use, wash it in a machine at 40 degrees Celsius with similar colors, and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While it offers good freedom of movement and durability, its basic design is best suited for recreational swimming, training, and beach activities rather than professional competition where specialized suits might be preferred.
What does 'shape retentive fabric' mean?
It means the fabric is designed to stretch and then return to its original shape without becoming baggy or losing its form, ensuring a consistent fit over time.
Can I use this swimsuit in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, absolutely. The LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is specifically designed to withstand chlorine and maintain its integrity in pool environments.
What materials is this swimsuit made from?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.
What is the fit like?
It offers a comfortable fit with a classic scoop back design that allows for maximum freedom of movement. The shape-retentive fabric ensures it conforms well to the body.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity quickly
Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after every use and washing according to the care instructions (40°C, no bleach). Avoid tumble drying.
Color fading
Rinse immediately after use to remove chlorine. Wash with like colors. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Fit feels tighter or looser than before
Check if the care instructions have been followed. Repeated exposure to harsh chemicals or improper drying can affect fabric shape. Ensure correct washing temperature and method.
