FAQs

What makes this swimsuit "chlorine-resistant"?

This swimsuit features LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber, which is specifically engineered to resist the damaging effects of chlorine, allowing the suit to maintain its shape and fit up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane.

Is this swimsuit suitable for regular swimming lessons?

Yes, absolutely. Its chlorine-resistant properties and durable design make it an excellent choice for frequent use, such as regular swimming lessons or competitive training, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

How should I wash the swimsuit to ensure its longevity?

Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. Always rinse it in cold, fresh water immediately after each use. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, tumble drying, and ironing. Air dry flat in the shade.

What material is the swimsuit made from?

The swimsuit is composed of 82% Recycled Polyester and 18% Lycra, combining durability with stretch for comfort and performance.

Can this swimsuit be used in saltwater?

Yes, it is suitable for use in saltwater. However, it's crucial to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use in saltwater to remove salt residues, similar to chlorine, to help maintain its condition.

Is the sizing accurate for the age group mentioned?

The swimsuit is designed for children's UK size 9-10. For the best possible fit, it is always recommended to consult a brand-specific sizing chart and, if possible, measure the child to compare with the size guide.

Does the "boyleg" design offer more coverage than standard swimsuits?

Yes, the boyleg design provides additional coverage around the upper thighs compared to traditional brief or high-cut swimsuit bottoms. This offers a more modest and secure fit, which many active young swimmers find comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Suit seems to be losing elasticity or shape prematurely.

Ensure that the swimsuit is always rinsed immediately after use and that high-heat drying (like tumble drying or direct sunlight) is avoided. While chlorine-resistant, consistent exposure to chlorine without rinsing or excessive heat can still degrade the fabric over time.

Color appears to be fading.

Although the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber helps resist fading, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and harsh pool chemicals without proper rinsing can still affect color. Always rinse the suit thoroughly after use and dry it in the shade.

Uncomfortable fit or chafing during wear.

Double-check the size against the child's current measurements. A swimsuit that is either too small (causing tightness) or too large (leading to excess fabric) can cause discomfort or chafing. Ensure the suit is worn and adjusted correctly.

Suit retains a lingering odor after washing.

Make sure the swimsuit is thoroughly rinsed in cold water before washing to remove as much chlorine/salt as possible. After washing, ensure it is completely air-dried in a well-ventilated area. Adding a small amount of white vinegar during the rinse cycle (if machine washing) can sometimes help neutralize odors.

Care Instructions

To maximize the lifespan and maintain the quality of your Slazenger LYCRA XTRA LIFE Boyleg Swimming Suit, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly in cold, fresh water. This helps remove chlorine, saltwater, and residues from sunscreens or lotions.
  2. Machine Wash: The swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
  3. Use Mild Detergent: Wash with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the specialized fabric and elasticity.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: Always air dry the swimsuit flat in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat, which can damage the fabric's integrity and elasticity.
  5. Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended as high heat can harm the LYCRA fibers.
  6. Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning processes can damage the specialized materials of the swimsuit.

Compatibility

This swimsuit is designed for general swimming activities in both chlorinated pools and saltwater environments. Its chlorine-resistant properties make it particularly well-suited for frequent pool use.
