FAQs
What does LYCRA XTRA LIFE mean for my swimsuit?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric is engineered to offer enhanced resistance to chlorine, heat, and UV rays. This means your swimsuit will maintain its shape and color for longer, resisting sagging and degradation compared to standard elastane fabrics.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The swimsuit is designed for a performance fit, meaning it should be snug but not uncomfortably restrictive. Refer to the sizing chart if available, and consider that the fabric has stretch but is intended to hold its shape securely during activity.
Can I use this swimsuit for competitive swimming?
Yes, the racer back design and durable, chlorine-resistant fabric make it suitable for competitive training and racing where consistent performance and durability are required.
What is the best way to wash this swimsuit?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Always rinse in cold fresh water after use. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry.
How long can I expect this swimsuit to last?
With proper care, including regular rinsing and avoiding harsh drying methods, the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric significantly extends the lifespan of the swimsuit, making it more durable than standard swimwear.
Is this swimsuit suitable for saltwater?
Yes, while the fabric is specifically enhanced for chlorine resistance, rinsing in fresh water after saltwater exposure is recommended to preserve the material.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity quickly
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly in fresh water after every use to remove chlorine. Avoid using fabric softeners and tumble drying, as these can degrade the Lycra fibers.
Color fading
Rinse the suit immediately after use. When drying, lay flat in the shade rather than in direct sunlight, which can accelerate color fading.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive
Verify that you have selected the correct size. While designed for a snug fit, ensure no discomfort that hinders movement. The LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric is designed to retain shape, so a proper initial fit is crucial.
