FAQs
What does 'Atomback' mean for my swim?
The Atomback refers to the swimsuit's design featuring an open back and wider straps. This design provides excellent freedom of movement for your shoulders and arms, allowing for a full range of motion during various swimming strokes, while still offering good support.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
Yes, the performance-oriented design, chlorine resistance, and freedom of movement make it suitable for training and competitive swimming.
How does the Ecolast+ fabric contribute to sustainability?
Ecolast+ fabric is made using REPREVE® yarn, which is derived from recycled plastic waste. This process helps to reduce environmental impact while providing a durable and high-performance fabric.
What is the benefit of the front lining?
The front lining is included to provide enhanced modesty and comfort for the wearer.
Can I use this swimsuit in a chlorinated pool and saltwater?
Yes, the Ecolast+ fabric is 100% chlorine proof and also resistant to saltwater, but it is always recommended to rinse the suit with fresh water after both types of exposure.
What does the Lifetime Guarantee cover?
The Lifetime Guarantee typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It signifies Zoggs' confidence in the durability and quality of the Ecolast+ fabric.
How do I check if I have the right size?
Refer to Zoggs' sizing chart for UK dress sizes and compare it to your measurements. The swimsuit should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. The Mettle Pink Atomback is available up to size 18, and the specific model in this guide is a UK size 16.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit fading or losing shape quickly
Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after each use and hand washing gently. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or exposure to excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Discomfort or chafing
Verify you have the correct size. Ensure the straps are adjusted properly and not digging in. Rinse the suit to ensure no residual detergent is causing irritation.
Fabric pilling
Pilling can occur from friction. Avoid sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces. Gentle washing and careful drying can minimize this.
