FAQs
What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a special fiber engineered to provide superior resistance to chlorine, lotions, and UV rays. This means your swimsuit will maintain its shape and fit up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, offering extended durability.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily swimming?
Yes, absolutely. The Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit is designed specifically for frequent and regular use, making it an excellent choice for daily lap swimming, training, or water fitness classes due to its chlorine resistance and durable fabric.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart to find your ideal fit. Swimsuits should feel snug but not restrictive to allow for comfortable movement in the water. Consider your usual clothing size, but also take hip and bust measurements if available.
What is 'boyleg' style?
A 'boyleg' swimsuit features a short, leg-covering style that extends slightly down the thigh, similar to short shorts. This cut offers more coverage than traditional briefs or high-cut styles, providing comfort and confidence during activities.
Is the material environmentally friendly?
Yes, a significant portion of this swimsuit (82%) is made from recycled nylon. This reduces reliance on virgin resources and helps minimize environmental impact, making it a more sustainable choice.
Can I wear this swimsuit for competitive swimming?
While it offers excellent performance features like a racer-back and shape retention, this swimsuit is generally designed for training and recreational swimming. For competitive racing, specific FINA-approved racing suits might offer specialized features for marginal gains, but this is a very capable training suit.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels less elastic or has lost its shape.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Harsh chemicals, high heat from tumble drying, or prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can degrade LYCRA® fibers. Rinse immediately after use and air dry in the shade.
Fading color after several uses.
While LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ offers excellent resistance, constant exposure to chlorine and sunlight can still cause some fading over a very long period. Always rinse thoroughly after swimming and air dry out of direct sunlight.
Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing.
This could be due to detergent residue. Try rinsing the swimsuit an extra time or ensure you are using a mild detergent and a gentle wash cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can sometimes leave a residue.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ swimsuit and maintain its performance characteristics.
