FAQs

Is this swimsuit suitable for pool use?

Yes, it is designed for swimming, though it should be rinsed with fresh water immediately after leaving the pool.

Can I put this swimsuit in the washing machine?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the elasticity and print quality of the polyester-elastane blend.

Does it have UV protection?

While the fabric provides some physical coverage, it is not specifically rated as UV-protective clothing; always use sunscreen.

How do I choose the right size?

The sizes are categorized by age (infant, toddler, and kids); choose based on the child's typical clothing size or weight as per standard retail sizing.

Is the material chlorine-resistant?

The blend is designed for standard swim use, but regular rinsing is required to prevent chlorine from breaking down the fabric.

Can a swim diaper be worn underneath?

Yes, the cut of the one-piece generally accommodates a standard infant swim diaper.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after swimming

This is likely caused by salt or chlorine buildup; soak the suit in cool, fresh water and rinse thoroughly.

Difficulty putting the swimsuit on

Ensure the suit is completely dry before attempting to dress the child, as wet fabric can cling to skin, making it harder to pull on.

Color appears to be fading

Avoid drying the swimsuit in direct sunlight and ensure it is rinsed immediately after use to neutralize pool chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Cath Kidston swimsuit, rinse the garment in fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove chlorine, salt, or sunscreen residue. When cleaning, avoid harsh detergents and bleaches. It is recommended to hand wash the item and hang it to dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can cause the vibrant red color to fade over time. Do not tumble dry or iron the fabric, as high heat can damage the elastane fibers, leading to a loss of elasticity.
