Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit - Blue - 12

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber engineered to provide superior resistance to chlorine and other pool chemicals, as well as sunscreen and body oils. This means your swimsuit can last up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, maintaining its shape and fit even with frequent use.

While the racer-back design and shape-retentive fabric offer good mobility and a secure fit, this swimsuit is generally designed for recreational and regular training use rather than elite competitive swimming. Its primary focus is on durability and comfort for frequent sessions.

Info needed: Specific UPF/UV protection rating for this swimsuit is not provided. While most swimwear fabrics offer some level of UV protection, it is recommended to use additional sun protection, especially during prolonged outdoor exposure.

No, it is strongly advised not to tumble dry this swimsuit. High heat from tumble dryers can significantly damage the LYCRA® fibers and other synthetic materials, leading to loss of elasticity, shape, and overall degradation. Always air dry by laying it flat or hanging it in the shade.

The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra. This blend provides a balance of durability, elasticity, and shape retention, with the added benefit of being partially made from recycled materials.

The swimsuit is sized according to UK women's dress sizes. It's recommended to consult a standard UK women's dress size chart and compare your body measurements (bust, waist, hips) to find the most accurate fit. Swimwear should fit snugly but not uncomfortably tight when dry.

Ensure you are following the care instructions, especially rinsing after each use and machine washing at 40 degrees. Avoid harsh chemicals and tumble drying, as high heat and improper cleaning can degrade the shape-retentive fabric and LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber prematurely.

Frequent exposure to high levels of chlorine or prolonged drying in direct sunlight can cause fading. Always rinse thoroughly after swimming and air dry in the shade. Use a mild detergent and wash according to instructions to preserve color.

Verify you have purchased the correct size. Swimwear should feel snug when dry, as it may loosen slightly in water. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. Ensure the material isn't being stretched excessively when putting it on.

Thoroughly rinse the swimsuit after each use to remove any chemical residues from pools (like chlorine) or natural elements (like salt). If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist, as it might be a sensitivity to the fabric or pool chemicals.
