FAQs
What is the main benefit of the racerback design?
The racerback design offers excellent freedom of movement for your shoulders and arms, allowing for a full range of motion during swimming.
Does this swimsuit have padding?
No, this swimsuit is non-padded, providing a natural feel and fit.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for pool swimming and offering a secure fit, its non-padded nature and specific material might be more suited for training or recreational swimming rather than elite competition where specific suit features are often preferred.
How does the recycled polyester benefit the environment?
Using recycled polyester conserves natural resources and reduces waste compared to using virgin polyester. It's part of Speedo's commitment to sustainability.
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
This certification means the textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It's an independent label ensuring product safety.
Can I machine wash this swimsuit?
It is recommended to hand wash the swimsuit gently with cold water and a mild detergent. Machine washing and harsh detergents can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan.
What size should I choose?
Refer to the size chart provided by Speedo and your own measurements. This guide specifically details the 'Size 16 UK' variant.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider if a different style with adjustable features might be more suitable.
Fabric losing elasticity
Rinse thoroughly with cold water after each use and avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or exposure to high heat. Hand wash gently and lay flat to dry.
Straps digging in
This may indicate an incorrect fit for your body shape. While straps are fixed, ensure the overall suit is the right size. If discomfort is severe, a different swimsuit style might be better.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Always rinse thoroughly after use to remove pool chemicals that can degrade color.
