FAQs

What does 'LYCRA XTRA LIFE' mean for this swimsuit?

LYCRA XTRA LIFE is a specific type of elastane fiber that is highly resistant to chlorine. This means the swimsuit will maintain its shape, elasticity, and color for significantly longer (up to twice as long) compared to suits made with standard elastane, especially with regular use in chlorinated pools.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure a proper fit is to consult a size chart and measure yourself accurately. This specific swimsuit is a women's UK size 16. Try the swimsuit on to check for comfort and support; it should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, allowing for full range of motion.

Can I wear this for sunbathing?

While the swimsuit can be worn for sunbathing, it's recommended to rinse it thoroughly afterwards. Prolonged exposure to sunscreen oils and UV rays without rinsing might affect the fabric over time. It's best to dry it in the shade to prevent color fading.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

The racer back design and durable, shape-retentive fabric make it suitable for regular training and fitness swimming. For elite competitive swimming, athletes may prefer suits with specific FINA-approved designs, but this suit offers excellent performance for most swimmers.

How often should I wash my swimsuit?

It is highly recommended to rinse your swimsuit with cold, fresh water immediately after each use. For a more thorough clean, a gentle machine wash or hand wash at 40°C is advised after several uses or if it becomes visibly dirty.

What is the material composition?

The swimsuit is composed of 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit losing elasticity quickly

Ensure the swimsuit is thoroughly rinsed in cold water after every use to remove chlorine. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and direct sunlight when drying. Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully.

Slight fading of color

While the fabric is colorfast, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause some fading over time. Always dry the swimsuit flat in the shade.

Fit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the swimsuit feels tight after initial wear, try soaking it in cool water for 30 minutes and then gently stretching it to fit. Allow it to air dry.

Care Instructions:
