FAQs

What makes this swimsuit eco-friendly?

The main fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester (Repreve Fiber), which is derived from plastic bottles. The production process also adheres to Global Recycle Standard Certification.

How does the fabric protect against sun?

The Repreve Fiber fabric offers UPF 50+ protection, blocking a significant amount of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

While designed for fitness and leisure, its secure fit and streamlined design can be suitable for recreational or training swims. For elite competition, specialized racing suits might offer enhanced hydrodynamics.

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

The swimsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without being uncomfortably tight. Check the brand's sizing chart and consider your preferred fit – a tighter fit for training, a slightly looser one for leisure.

Can I machine wash this swimsuit?

It is recommended to hand wash the swimsuit with a mild detergent in cold water. Machine washing, especially on a high heat or spin cycle, can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan.

What is the benefit of the 'Control Pro Back Bra' design?

This design incorporates an internal bra and wider straps to provide enhanced support and a more secure, comfortable fit, particularly beneficial for active swimming.

How long will the chlorine resistance last?

The chlorine-resistant fabric is designed for durability through regular use. Proper care, including rinsing immediately after each swim, will significantly extend its lifespan and performance.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a less compressive fit. Allow time for the fabric to adapt to your body shape with initial wears.

Elastic straps stretching out over time

Follow care instructions meticulously, especially avoiding high heat and harsh detergents. Rinse thoroughly after each use to preserve elasticity.

Color fading after several uses

Rinse immediately after each swim and dry in the shade away from direct sunlight. While the fabric is colorfast, prolonged sun exposure can cause fading.

Inner bra not providing enough support

Verify that the swimsuit is the correct size and that the straps are adjusted properly. This design offers moderate support; for very high-impact activities, additional support might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a one-piece swimsuit, there is no setup required. Simply ensure it fits correctly before use.

Compatibility: This swimsuit is designed for general swimming activities in chlorinated pools, saltwater, and fresh water. It is compatible with various water sports and beach activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly in cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and any other residues.
  2. Hand Wash: Hand wash using a mild detergent suitable for swimwear. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  3. Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the fibers.
  4. Dry Flat: Lay the swimsuit flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying, as heat can degrade the fabric and elastic.
  5. Avoid Abrasive Surfaces: Be mindful of rough surfaces that could snag or damage the material.
