FAQs

What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fabric different?

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fabric is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen, offering up to 10 times more durability than standard swimwear fabrics. It helps the swimsuit maintain its shape and color over time.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

While designed for active water sports and athletic use, its boyleg cut and racerback design offer good support and reduced drag, making it suitable for training and regular swimming. For elite competition, specific racing suits might offer further advantages.

Can I use this swimsuit in a hot tub?

While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fabric offers enhanced durability, prolonged exposure to high temperatures and chemicals in hot tubs can still degrade any swimwear. It is recommended to rinse the suit immediately after use.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The swimsuit should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. The boyleg cut should provide full coverage without riding up. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements, and consider the athletic fit intended for performance.

What does 'recycled polyester' mean?

Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer plastic products, like bottles, which are processed into new polyester fibers. This reduces waste and reliance on virgin resources, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Can this swimsuit be worn for casual beach days?

Yes, it can be worn for casual beach days. However, its athletic boyleg cut and racerback design are optimized for active water use and may offer more coverage than some prefer for lounging.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit losing elasticity quickly

Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly with cold water after every use to remove chlorine and salt. Avoid tumble drying and excessive heat, and always air dry away from direct sunlight.

Color fading

Rinse the swimsuit immediately after use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Follow the washing instructions carefully, using cold water and mild detergent.

Straps feel uncomfortable or restrictive

Ensure the swimsuit is the correct size. The racerback design is meant to be snug for support; check for any twists in the straps. If discomfort persists, ensure you are not over-tightening the suit when putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This swimsuit requires no setup; simply rinse it after each use to remove any chlorine or salt. It is compatible with both chlorinated swimming pools and saltwater environments. To ensure its longevity and maintain its performance characteristics, please follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C.
  • Detergents: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. It is best to air dry the swimsuit away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage to the fabric.
  • Rinsing: Always rinse thoroughly with cold water after use.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

Adhering to these simple care steps will help preserve the fabric's elasticity and the swimsuit's overall performance.
