Troubleshooting
Fabric feels tight after several uses
Ensure the suit is properly rinsed and air-dried away from heat; high heat can cause fibers to shrink and lose elasticity.
Difficulty putting the swimsuit on
The Medalist design is built for an athletic, compressive fit. Ensure the suit is dry when putting it on, as wet fabric creates more friction against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Speedo Medalist Swimsuit maintains its integrity over time, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the swimsuit in cold, fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine and salt residue.
- Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water instead of twisting or wringing the fabric, as this can break down the fibers.
- Drying: Hang the suit to air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the elastic.
- Chemical Avoidance: Avoid contact with oils, lotions, and sunscreens, as these can weaken the material over time.
