FAQs
Is this swim costume suitable for competitive swimming?
The Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is designed for comfort, support, and a flattering fit for recreational swimming and leisure activities. While durable, it is not specifically engineered for the high-performance demands of competitive swimming.
Does the tummy control feature provide significant compression?
The tummy control panel and illusion panelling are designed to offer a smoothing and flattering effect for a confident silhouette, rather than intense compression. It provides gentle shaping.
How durable is the UV protection?
The costume offers UPF 50+ protection, which is a high level of UV blocking. This protection is inherent in the fabric but can be degraded over time by improper care, excessive chlorine exposure, or extreme stretching. Following care instructions will help maintain its effectiveness.
Can I machine wash this swim costume?
For best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity, stretch, and UV protection, hand washing with mild detergent and cold water is recommended. Machine washing is not advised.
What material is the swim costume made from?
The main fabric is made from a blend of recycled 85% polyester and 15% elastane. This specific striped variant also features 51% polyester/33% polyamide/16% elastane seersucker stripe fabric, contributing to its soft-touch and stretch properties.
Are the padded cups removable?
The description specifies 'Non-wired padded cups' but does not explicitly state if they are removable. They are designed to provide consistent support and shape.
Is the sizing true to UK dress sizes?
The costume is available in UK women's dress sizes. For the most accurate fit, it is recommended to consult the specific Regatta size chart for swimwear, as fit can vary between brands.
Troubleshooting
Swim costume feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure the adjustable straps are correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, verify that the size is appropriate for your body measurements, referring to the brand's size guide.
Fabric seems to be losing elasticity or color fading.
This can often be caused by prolonged exposure to chlorine or sun and improper care. Always rinse thoroughly after use and follow the recommended hand washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
Padded cups shift or fold during wear.
Adjust the pads within their pockets to ensure they are flat and properly positioned before wearing. Check that the swim costume is correctly sized, as an ill-fitting costume can cause shifting.
