FAQs
What makes this swimsuit more durable than others?
The key is the integrated LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, which is specifically engineered to resist chlorine degradation. This allows the swimsuit to maintain its integrity and elasticity up to 10 times longer than swimsuits made with ordinary elastane, especially when frequently exposed to chlorinated water.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily use?
Yes, its design with chlorine-resistant LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber and shape-retentive fabric makes it highly suitable for regular and frequent use, such as daily fitness swimming or training sessions.
What is the fabric composition of this swimsuit?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra. This blend provides durability, stretch, and comfort while incorporating sustainable materials.
How should I wash and dry this swimsuit?
Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. After each use, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water. It is crucial to air dry the swimsuit, laying it flat or hanging it in the shade, and never tumble dry it or dry it in direct sunlight.
What does 'racer-back design' mean for comfort and movement?
The racer-back design features straps that converge between the shoulder blades, ensuring they stay securely in place during active swimming. This design also frees up the shoulder area, allowing for an unrestricted range of motion, which is crucial for efficient swimming strokes.
Does this swimsuit offer UV protection?
Info needed: [The product description does not specify a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. While many swimwear fabrics offer some inherent UV protection, a specific rating is not stated for this product.]
Is the boyleg cut suitable for all body types?
The boyleg cut offers more coverage on the thigh compared to traditional high-cut styles, which many find comfortable and flattering. As with any swimwear style, personal preference and body shape play a role, but it's designed for broad appeal and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels uncomfortably tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While shape-retentive, an overly small size will compromise comfort. Consult sizing charts if available. The fabric should offer a snug, not constrictive, fit.
Swimsuit appears to be losing its shape or elasticity.
Review your care routine. Improper washing (e.g., too hot water, harsh detergents) or drying (e.g., tumble drying, direct sunlight) can degrade the fabric's elasticity and shape retention over time. Always rinse immediately after use and follow machine washing instructions carefully.
Color seems to be fading prematurely.
Although the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber offers superior chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to very high chlorine concentrations or continuous direct sunlight during drying can still affect color vibrancy. Always rinse immediately after swimming and dry in the shade.
Fabric feels rough or appears damaged after a few uses.
Inspect for snags or abrasions. Rough surfaces (e.g., concrete pool edges, benches) can cause damage. Ensure proper storage and gentle handling. Check for interaction with harsh chemicals in the water or applied to the skin.

Care Instructions
Proper care is vital to maximize the lifespan and maintain the properties of your Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit. Follow these guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly in cool, fresh water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, and body oils that can degrade fabric.
- Machine Wash: The swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a mild detergent.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong stain removers, as these can damage the LYCRA® fibers and fabric dyes.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from tumble dryers can damage elastic fibers. Always air dry your swimsuit.
- Dry Flat and Away from Direct Sunlight: Lay the swimsuit flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade and degrade the fabric over time.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough pool decks or surfaces, as this can cause pilling or snagging.
