Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Kyra Swimsuit in blue (size 16) is designed for adult women seeking comfort and a flattering fit for swimming. Its key benefit lies in the stretch fabric and wrap-over front, offering gentle shaping and support. A potential caveat for some may be the non-wired cups, which provide shaping but no underwire support. Key features include recycled polyester blend fabric, adjustable straps, and padded cups.

FAQs
What is the main material of the Regatta Kyra Swimsuit?
The swimsuit is primarily made from 85% Polyester (Recycled) and 15% Elastane.
Does the swimsuit have underwire support?
No, the Kyra Swimsuit features padded, non-wired cups that provide gentle shaping but do not include underwire.
How should I care for my swimsuit to ensure its longevity?
Rinse immediately after use in cold, fresh water, hand wash with a mild detergent, and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for general swimming, the non-wired design and focus on shaping may make it more suited for recreational swimming and training rather than high-level competitive events where specific performance suits are often preferred.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean?
Recycled polyester is made from pre-existing plastic materials, such as PET bottles, which are processed and spun into new polyester fibers. This reduces waste and the need for virgin resources.
Can I adjust the straps?
Yes, the swimsuit features adjustable straps to allow you to customize the fit for your comfort and support needs.
What size is this specific guide for?
This guide is for the Regatta Kyra Swimsuit in Blue, specifically for UK Women's Dress Size 16.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the shoulder straps for a more precise fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if a different size from the Kyra range would be more suitable.
Fabric losing elasticity.
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly with cold, fresh water after each use to remove chlorine or salt. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when drying.
Straps are digging in.
Adjust the straps to a more comfortable setting. Ensure the swimsuit is not too small, as this can cause straps to dig in.
