FAQs
Is this swim costume suitable for daily swimming?
Yes, the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is made from durable polyester, making it well-suited for regular use in both chlorinated pools and saltwater environments, provided proper care instructions are followed.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend referring to the specific Regatta sizing chart for swimwear to ensure the best fit. Accurate measurements will help you select the size (e.g., UK 12) that provides optimal comfort and the intended shaping effects.
Can I machine wash this swim costume?
To preserve the fabric's elasticity, shape, and color, hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is strongly recommended. Machine washing, especially with harsh cycles, can damage swimwear materials.
What does 'illusion panelling' mean?
Illusion panelling refers to strategic design elements or fabric placements that create a visually flattering effect, often to enhance curves or create a more streamlined silhouette.
Does it offer bust support?
Yes, the Regatta Sakari Swim Costume features a supportive cup design to provide enhanced comfort and shaping for the bust.
Is the material quick-drying?
Yes, polyester fabric is known for its quick-drying properties, making this swim costume convenient for use and travel.
Will the striped pattern fade in chlorine or sunlight?
While polyester is more resistant to fading than some other fabrics, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals like chlorine or direct sunlight without rinsing can cause some fading over time. Following the care instructions, especially rinsing after use and air drying in the shade, will help maintain the color's vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or too loose, or tummy control isn't as effective.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to Regatta's sizing chart. Swimwear fit can be very personal, and proper sizing is crucial for the supportive and control features to work as intended. A size too small may cause discomfort, while a size too large may not provide adequate shaping or support.
Fabric appears to be fading or losing elasticity after several uses.
This is often due to exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or prolonged sun without proper rinsing. Always rinse your costume thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use. Hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry in the shade, avoiding harsh chemicals and tumble drying, as outlined in the care instructions.
The supportive cups feel uncomfortable or misaligned.
Adjust the costume once worn to ensure the cups are properly positioned over your bust. If discomfort persists, re-check the sizing to ensure the costume provides adequate overall support without being too restrictive. If applicable, adjust shoulder straps to achieve a more comfortable lift and fit.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and maintain the quality of your Regatta Sakari Swim Costume, please follow these care guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially after swimming in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse your costume thoroughly with cool, fresh water to remove residues.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can degrade the fabric and cause fading.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can damage the fabric's elasticity and shape.
- Dry Flat or Line Dry: Lay the costume flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it to air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colours and weaken elastic fibres.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from tumble dryers can cause significant damage to swimwear fabric.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces (e.g., poolside concrete) which can cause pilling or snagging of the fabric.
