FAQs

What is LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™?

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber designed to improve the lifespan of swimwear. It offers enhanced resistance to chlorine, lotions, and body oils, allowing garments to last up to 10 times longer than those made with ordinary elastane, maintaining their shape and fit.

Is this swimsuit suitable for everyday swimming lessons?

Yes, absolutely. The `chlorine-resistant` `LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™` fiber makes it ideal for frequent use in chlorinated pools, ensuring durability and prolonged performance for regular swimming lessons.

What is the material composition of the suit?

The swimming suit is made from 82% Recycled Polyester and 18% Lycra. This blend provides durability, stretch, and a more sustainable choice.

How should I wash this swimsuit?

The suit is `machine washable at 40 degrees` Celsius. Remember to rinse it with fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and tumble drying; always air dry in the shade.

Is the boyleg design comfortable for active children?

Yes, the `boyleg design` is chosen for its comfort and coverage. It allows for a greater range of motion and can prevent discomfort from the suit riding up, making it suitable for active young swimmers.

What age group is this specific swimsuit designed for?

This particular swimsuit is designed for kids in the `7-8 age group`. Please check the specific size chart for precise measurements if available.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size has been purchased for your child's age group (7-8). While the fabric is `stretch-fit`, an incorrect size can lead to discomfort. Refer to Slazenger's size guide if available. The suit should be snug but allow full range of motion.

Suit seems to be deteriorating or losing shape quickly.

Although made with `LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™` for enhanced durability against chlorine, it's crucial to follow care instructions diligently. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after swimming and machine wash at 40 degrees. Avoid harsh chemicals and tumble drying, which can still degrade the material over time.

Color appears to be fading.

Even with chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to strong chemicals or intense sunlight without proper rinsing can cause some fading over time. Ensure prompt rinsing after use and gentle washing. Air dry in the shade to protect the fabric.

The fabric has snagged or pulled.

This can occur from contact with rough surfaces like pool edges or specific water park attractions. Be mindful of where the suit comes into contact with surfaces to prevent snags. Minor snags can sometimes be carefully worked back into place with a needle, but prevention is key.

Pros and Cons

  • Exceptional chlorine resistance for prolonged lifespan.
  • Comfortable and secure boyleg fit for active kids.
  • Durable stretch fabric maintains shape over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started (Setup)

Using your new swimming suit is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the swimming suit from its packaging.
  2. Try On: Have your child try on the suit to ensure a comfortable and correct fit. The `stretch-fit fabric` should feel snug but not restrictive.
  3. Adjust: Ensure the straps and leg openings sit comfortably without digging into the skin.

Compatibility

This swimming suit is designed for kids in the 7-8 age group. It is specifically for female users and is suitable for all types of recreational swimming and lessons in chlorinated water.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your swimming suit, especially given its LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ properties:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly with cool, fresh water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, and other chemicals.
  2. Machine Wash: The suit is `machine washable at 40 degrees` Celsius. Use a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  3. Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's elasticity and chlorine resistance.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry the suit flat in the shade. Direct sunlight or high heat from a tumble dryer can damage the `LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™` fibers.
  5. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against abrasive surfaces (like concrete pool decks) that can snag or pill the fabric.
  6. Store Properly: Once completely dry, store the suit in a cool, dry place.
