FAQs

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

While the Freya Active Freestyle Swimsuit provides excellent support and freedom of movement for active swimming, its design is generally geared towards fitness swimming, water aerobics, and recreational use rather than highly competitive racing, which often requires specialized compression swimwear.

How do I convert the straps to a cross-back style?

To convert the straps, simply detach them from the back loops, cross them over your back, and then reattach them to the opposite loops. This configuration offers additional support and can be more comfortable for some activities.

Can I machine wash this swimsuit?

No, this swimsuit is designed for hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the underwire, moulded cups, and fabric elasticity, reducing the lifespan and effectiveness of the swimsuit. Always use cool water and a mild detergent.

What type of coverage does the Freya Active Freestyle Swimsuit offer?

The swimsuit features a high-cut leg for an athletic look and enhanced movement, combined with moderate rear coverage to provide a balance of style, comfort, and modesty for active wear.

How should I dry my swimsuit after use?

After gently squeezing out excess water (do not wring), lay your swimsuit flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight and do not use a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the fabric and elastic.

What material is the swimsuit made from?

The Freya Active Freestyle Swimsuit is made from Polyester, which is an excellent choice for swimwear due to its durability, resistance to chlorine and salt, and quick-drying properties.

Will the underwire be visible or uncomfortable?

The underwiring in this swimsuit is concealed within the moulded cups, providing a smooth and discreet appearance. When fitted correctly, the underwire should sit comfortably against your ribcage without poking or causing discomfort.

How do I choose the correct size for the best fit?

Info needed: It is recommended to consult the Freya sizing chart, typically found on the product page or brand's website. Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare these to the chart to find your ideal size. A proper fit is crucial for optimal support and comfort in active swimwear.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too loose or dig into shoulders.

Adjust the sliders on the shoulder straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. For enhanced support, try converting the straps to a cross-back style.

Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes the skin.

Ensure the swimsuit is properly positioned. The underwire should sit flat against your ribcage, not on your breast tissue. If discomfort persists, verify that the size is correct; an ill-fitting band or cup can cause issues.

Swimsuit is losing its shape or elasticity.

Review your care routine. Always hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and excessive wringing. Chlorine and prolonged sun exposure can also degrade fabric over time.

Cups are gaping or wrinkling.

This often indicates that the cup size may be too large. Ensure the moulded cups fit smoothly over your bust without excess fabric. Consider trying a smaller cup size or adjusting the band for a firmer fit.

Color fading or discoloration.

Always rinse the swimsuit thoroughly with cool, fresh water immediately after use, especially after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Dry in the shade away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Setup

Upon first wear, take the time to adjust the straps to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. The straps are fully adjustable to accommodate different torso lengths and support preferences. You can also experiment with converting the straps to a cross-back design for enhanced support, especially beneficial during more dynamic activities. Ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage, not on your breast tissue, for optimal comfort and support.

Compatibility

This swimsuit is ideal for a wide range of water activities, including:

  • Lap swimming and fitness classes: Provides the necessary support and freedom of movement.
  • Water aerobics: Comfortable for dynamic movements.
  • Recreational swimming: Stylish and supportive for casual pool or beach days.
  • Holiday wear: Offers a chic look with active capabilities.

Product Care

To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Freya Active Freestyle Swimsuit, please follow these care instructions carefully:

  • Hand Wash Only: This is crucial. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Gently agitate the water and let the swimsuit soak for a few minutes.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, especially after swimming in chlorinated or salt water, rinse your swimsuit immediately with clean, cool water to remove chemicals and prevent fabric damage.
  • Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting or wringing the fabric, as this can damage the underwire and elastic.
  • Dry Flat in Shade: Lay your swimsuit flat on a clean towel or hang it to dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors and degrade elastic. Do not use a tumble dryer.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or fabric softeners, as these can break down the fabric and elasticity.
  • Storage: Ensure the swimsuit is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew and odors.
