FAQs

What is the primary material of this swim costume?

The Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is made from an eco-friendly blend of 85% Polyester and 15% Elastane, derived from recycled plastic bottles.

Does this swim costume offer good support?

Yes, it features a `supportive cup` design and `soft-touch stretch fabric` to provide comfort and support during wear.

How does the tummy control feature work?

The costume incorporates `illusion panelling` which is strategically placed to create a smoother, more flattering silhouette around the tummy area.

Is this costume suitable for swimming in chlorinated pools?

Yes, the `Polyester` and `Elastane` blend is suitable for chlorinated pools. However, it's crucial to rinse the costume thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use to prolong its lifespan.

What are the recommended washing instructions?

Hand washing with mild detergent in cool water and line drying in the shade is recommended. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing to protect the fabric's integrity.

Will the floral pattern fade over time?

To minimize fading, always follow the care instructions, especially rinsing after use in chlorine or saltwater, and avoiding prolonged direct sun exposure during drying. The `Polyester` content helps with color retention.

Does this swim costume offer UV protection?

Info needed: The product description does not specify a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. While `Polyester` fabrics generally offer some inherent UV protection, we recommend seeking shade or applying sunscreen for prolonged sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

My swim costume feels too tight or too loose.

While the `Elastane` provides stretch, ensuring the correct initial size is crucial. Refer to the UK dress size chart. If slightly snug, the fabric may adjust slightly with wear when wet. If consistently uncomfortable, re-evaluate the size.

The fabric is fading or becoming dull.

This is often due to chlorine or salt exposure. Always rinse your costume thoroughly with cool, clean water immediately after use. Follow the care instructions diligently, avoiding harsh detergents and direct prolonged sunlight during drying.

The material seems to be pilling or snagging.

Pilling can occur from friction against rough surfaces (e.g., concrete pool decks, abrasive seating). Be mindful of where you sit or rub against. Snags usually happen if the fabric catches on sharp objects. Handle with care.

The tummy control feature doesn't feel effective.

The `illusion panelling` provides subtle shaping rather than strong compression. Ensure the costume is worn correctly and fits well. If the fit is too large, the effect will be minimized.

This swim costume is designed for adult females. It's suitable for a wide range of water activities, including casual swimming, beach outings, pool relaxation, and light water sports.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality, elasticity, and color of your Regatta Sakari Swim Costume. Following these guidelines will help prolong its lifespan:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially in chlorinated or salt water, rinse the costume thoroughly with cool, clean water.
  2. Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh soaps or bleach.
  3. Gentle Machine Wash (Optional): If using a machine, place the costume in a mesh laundry bag and select a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid high spin speeds.
  4. Do Not Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and cause color fading.
  5. Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat can degrade the Elastane fibers, affecting the costume's stretch and fit. Always line dry or lay flat in the shade.
  6. Avoid Direct Sunlight While Drying: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade colors.
  7. Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the synthetic fibers.
  8. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough pool edges or abrasive surfaces, which can cause fabric pilling.
