Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit - Blue - 6

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber engineered to resist damage from chlorine, lotions, and UV rays. This resistance significantly extends the lifespan of your swimsuit, making it last up to 10 times longer than swimwear with ordinary elastane by preventing sagging and fading.

Yes, this swimsuit is machine washable. For best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity, machine wash it at 40 degrees Celsius (warm water). Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

While providing excellent freedom of movement and durability, this swimsuit is primarily designed for comfort and regular recreational swimming, water aerobics, and leisure rather than competitive racing where specialized technical suits are often preferred.

The 'boyleg' style refers to the cut of the leg openings. Unlike traditional high-cut or brief styles, boyleg swimsuits feature a longer cut that extends further down the thigh, similar to shorts. This offers more coverage and often a more secure, modest feel.

To extend the life of your swimsuit, always rinse it thoroughly in cool, fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine or salt. Machine wash at 40°C as instructed, avoid tumble drying, and air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.

The Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining durability with a commitment to sustainable materials.

While the fabric is shape-retentive, improper care can affect elasticity. Ensure you are rinsing it immediately after use and machine washing it at 40°C. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, and tumble drying, as these can damage the Lycra fibers. Also, confirm you selected the correct size initially.

The swimsuit features chlorine-resistant LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ for enhanced color retention. However, prolonged exposure to extremely high chlorine concentrations, strong chemicals, or direct, intense sunlight without proper rinsing can still lead to some fading over extended periods. Always rinse immediately after swimming and follow washing instructions.

The racer-back design is intended to offer maximum freedom of movement. If you experience discomfort, first verify that you have chosen the correct size. A swimsuit that is too small can restrict movement. Check the fit around the shoulders and bust.

Pilling can occur from abrasion against rough surfaces (e.g., concrete pool edges, rough seating). Minimize contact with such surfaces. Proper gentle washing at 40°C also helps prevent fabric stress that could lead to pilling. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or Velcro.
