Product Information
Full details
The Arena Maxlife Bikini is a high-performance two-piece swimsuit tailored for female swimmers who engage in frequent, intensive training sessions. It provides an exceptional balance of freedom of movement through its minimalist bandeau design and long-lasting durability thanks to specialized chlorine-resistant polyester construction. While it is perfect for competitive or fitness swimmers seeking a streamlined fit, those preferring high-coverage swimwear may find the thin-strap bandeau top and low-rise cut less suitable for recreational beach activities.

FAQs
Is this bikini suitable for competitive racing?
Yes, it is designed for training, but the technical cut and freedom of movement make it suitable for high-intensity competitive practice.
How do I ensure the right fit?
This model is a UK size 14. Use the internal drawstring to adjust the waistband to your specific preference for a secure, stay-put fit.
Does the material stretch over time?
Maxlife fabric is specifically engineered to resist stretching and sagging, maintaining its original fit much longer than standard swimsuit materials.
Can I wear this for open-water swimming?
Yes, the UV 50+ protection makes it a great choice for outdoor or open-water swimming environments.
How should I store the bikini?
Always store the suit flat or hung in a dry, cool place after it has completely air-dried.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels slightly loose after long-term use
Ensure the internal drawstring on the bottom is tied securely; the Maxlife fabric is designed for durability, but consistent tension helps maintain the seal.
Fabric appears to have white residue
This is likely chlorine buildup. Soak the suit in fresh, cold water for 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly, then air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Arena Maxlife Bikini, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after use in chlorinated or salt water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric to protect the elasticity of the fibers. When washing, use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the specialized polyester material. Always air dry your suit in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat and UV exposure over time can cause the material to become brittle. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
