FAQs
What makes LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric different?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric is engineered to provide up to 10 times more chlorine resistance than standard elastane. This means it maintains its shape, color, and elasticity for a significantly longer period, even with frequent use in chlorinated pools.
How do I best care for my swimsuit to ensure longevity?
Rinse your swimsuit in cold fresh water immediately after each use. Machine wash at 40°C following care label instructions, do not tumble dry, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What activities is this swimsuit suitable for?
This swimsuit is ideal for active swimmers, lap swimming, water aerobics, triathlon training, and general beach or pool activities due to its durable, supportive, and chlorine-resistant design.
What does the racer back design offer?
The racer back design provides enhanced support, particularly for the bust and shoulders, and allows for greater freedom of movement in the arms and back, which is beneficial for swimming efficiency.
What is the material composition of the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is composed of 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining durability with elasticity for a comfortable and long-lasting fit.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for performance and durability, its primary benefits are longevity and comfort for regular swimmers. For elite competitive swimming, athletes may prefer suits with specific FINA approvals or advanced compression features, but it is a robust option for training.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels loose after a few uses
Ensure the swimsuit was properly rinsed with cold water after each use to remove chlorine. If the issue persists, check that the correct size was selected, as a swimsuit that is too large will lose its shape more quickly. Proper drying methods (avoiding direct heat) are also crucial.
Discoloration or fabric degradation
This is less common with LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric but can occur with excessive exposure to high concentrations of chlorine or prolonged sunlight. Always rinse immediately after swimming and dry out of direct sunlight. Ensure washing is done at the recommended temperature (40°C).
Racer back straps are uncomfortable
Ensure the swimsuit is the correct size. If the swimsuit fits properly, the racer back design might not be suitable for your body type or preferred level of support. Check that the straps are lying flat and not twisted.
