FAQs
What material is the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume made from?
It is made from a soft-touch stretch polyester fabric, known for its comfort, quick-drying properties, and resistance to chlorine.
Does this swim costume provide bust support?
Yes, it features a supportive cup to provide enhanced bust support for added confidence and comfort.
How do I care for my swim costume to make it last longer?
To extend the life of your costume, rinse it in cool, clean water immediately after each use. Hand wash with a mild detergent, gently squeeze out excess water, and air dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach, ironing, and harsh chemicals.
Is the tummy control feature very restrictive?
No, the tummy control is designed for gentle shaping and smoothing rather than a highly restrictive compression, aiming for comfort while providing a flattering silhouette.
Can I use this for frequent swimming in chlorinated pools?
Yes, thanks to its durable polyester material, it's suitable for regular use in chlorinated pools, provided proper care instructions (especially immediate rinsing) are followed after each swim to prevent fabric degradation.
What UK size is this specific costume?
This specific variant of the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is a UK Size 18.
Is the blue color prone to fading?
While polyester is generally more fade-resistant than other materials, prolonged exposure to harsh chlorine, strong detergents, or direct sunlight without proper rinsing and drying can cause colors to fade over time. Always follow care instructions to best preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Costume feels too tight or too loose.
Swimwear should feel snug but not restrictive. Refer to the Regatta sizing chart before purchase to ensure the correct fit. This specific variant is a UK Size 18. If the fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if available.
Fabric seems to be losing elasticity or fading prematurely.
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, particularly rinsing after each use and avoiding harsh chemicals and direct sunlight during drying. Chlorine, salt, and prolonged sun exposure can degrade fabric and colors over time. Incorrect washing can also contribute to wear.
Tummy control feature doesn't feel effective.
The tummy control is designed for gentle shaping and smoothing. Ensure the costume is worn correctly and sits properly on your body. If concerns persist, re-check your measurements against the sizing guide, as an ill-fitting size may reduce the effectiveness of the feature.

Care Instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the costume thoroughly with cool, clean water to remove chlorine, salt, and sun cream residues.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results and to preserve fabric integrity, hand wash with a mild detergent. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle in a mesh bag with cold water.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong stain removers, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric and colors.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Twisting or wringing can stretch and damage the fabric.
- Dry Flat: Lay flat or hang to air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight as prolonged exposure can fade colors and degrade elastic.
- Do Not Iron: The polyester fabric does not typically require ironing. High heat can damage the material and its stretch properties.
