Product Information
Full details
The Speedo Medalist Swimsuit is designed for adult female swimmers seeking a reliable, comfortable option for regular pool sessions. Its key benefit is the classic racerback design, which ensures straps remain secure and do not slip during active swimming strokes, though it is worth noting that the suit is non-padded and lacks underwire support, favoring a streamlined, natural fit.

Troubleshooting
Fabric losing elasticity after heavy use
This is common with prolonged chlorine exposure; ensure thorough rinsing with fresh water and avoid leaving the suit in direct sun.
Difficulty putting on the suit
Ensure the swimsuit is not dried in high heat, which can cause the fabric to become stiff; if dry, dampen the fabric slightly to assist in stretching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Speedo Medalist Swimsuit maintains its integrity and fit, follow these care steps:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the swimsuit in fresh, cool water immediately after use to remove chlorine and salt.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash with a mild detergent if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Air Dry Only: Lay the suit flat to dry in a shaded area. Avoid wringing it out or using a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the fabric elasticity.
