FAQs

What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for the swimsuit?

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber that provides enhanced resistance to chlorine degradation, typically making the swimsuit last up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane. This means better shape retention and durability for frequent pool use.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

This swimsuit is designed for comfort, durability, and performance in training and recreational swimming. While it's excellent for regular use, serious competitive swimmers might opt for suits with specific technical features geared towards race performance.

How do I ensure I choose the right size for my child?

Always refer to the official Slazenger size chart, typically found on the product page or brand website. Measure your child's chest, waist, and hip circumference, and compare these to the chart for the most accurate fit. This particular suit is for kids aged 9-10.

Can this swimsuit be worn in saltwater (ocean) in addition to chlorinated pools?

Yes, it can be worn in saltwater. However, it's crucial to rinse the swimsuit thoroughly with cool, clean water immediately after swimming in the ocean to remove salt, sand, and other residues, just as you would after swimming in a chlorinated pool.

What is the exact fabric composition of the swimsuit?

The swimsuit is made from a blend of 82% Recycled Polyester and 18% Lycra. This combination provides durability, stretch, and chlorine resistance.

Is the cut-out back design comfortable for active swimming?

Yes, the cut-out back panel is specifically designed to offer greater flexibility and allow for a full range of motion in the shoulders and upper back. This minimizes restriction and enhances comfort, particularly during active swimming movements.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or too loose.

Check if the chosen size matches the child's current measurements against the Slazenger size guide. A suit that is too big will sag, while one that is too small can restrict movement and cause discomfort. If it's a new suit, a slight stretch may occur after a few wears.

Fabric appears to be wearing out quickly or losing elasticity.

Ensure you are following the care instructions strictly. Failure to rinse after chlorine exposure or using harsh detergents can significantly shorten the suit's lifespan. The LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is highly resistant, but proper care is still crucial for longevity.

Fading or discoloration of the black fabric.

While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ offers superior chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying or not rinsing out chlorine thoroughly can still contribute to fading over time. Always air dry in the shade and rinse promptly after use.

Discomfort around the cut-out back panel.

Ensure the suit is not too small, as this could cause the straps or edges of the cut-out to dig in. The design is intended for flexibility, so a proper fit should feel comfortable and unrestrictive. If discomfort persists, double-check the sizing.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimming Suit:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly with cool, clean water to remove chlorine, saltwater, and sunscreen residue.
  2. Machine Wash: Machine washable at `40 degrees` Celsius. Place the swimsuit in a mesh laundry bag to protect it during washing.
  3. Use Mild Detergent: Wash with a mild, chlorine-free detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the Lycra fibers.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry the swimsuit flat in the shade, away from direct sunlight or heat, as high temperatures can degrade the fabric's elasticity and color.
  5. Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended.
  6. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing the swimsuit against rough surfaces, which can snag or pill the fabric.
