Speedo Endurance+ Medalist Swimsuit - Blue - Size 8

The Medalist design refers to the cut of the swimsuit, specifically optimizing the shoulder straps and back opening. This allows for a greater range of motion, reducing any restriction on your shoulder movement and improving flexibility for a more efficient swimming stroke during training.

Thanks to the 100% chlorine-resistant Endurance+ fabric, this swimsuit is designed for extended durability in chlorinated pools. With proper care, it can last significantly longer than suits made from less resistant materials, maintaining its shape and performance through regular use.

While durable and comfortable for training, the Medalist cut offers a regular fit. Competitive swimmers often prefer suits with higher compression and a more streamlined, body-hugging fit for racing. This suit is primarily designed for training sessions.

It is recommended to hand wash the swimsuit with cold water and a mild detergent. Machine washing, especially with higher temperatures or stronger detergents, can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan. Always avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

The primary advantage of Endurance+ fabric is its exceptional resistance to chlorine, ensuring the swimsuit maintains its color, shape, and elasticity for much longer periods compared to standard swimwear fabrics. It also offers quick-drying properties.

A correctly sized swimsuit should feel snug and secure without being uncomfortably tight. It should not dig into your skin or restrict your breathing. During swimming, it should stay in place without requiring constant adjustment.

While the fabric is durable, it's best to rinse the swimsuit immediately with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or hot tub chemicals, as these can also degrade the material over time. This suit is optimized for chlorinated pool environments.

Ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly after each use and dried flat away from heat. Prolonged exposure to chlorine without proper rinsing can degrade fabric elasticity over time. Check that the correct size was purchased initially.

This can occur with excessive exposure to chlorine and sunlight. Follow care instructions diligently: rinse immediately after use, hand wash gently, and dry flat away from direct sunlight. The Endurance+ fabric is highly chlorine resistant, but extreme or prolonged exposure can still affect it.

Ensure the swimsuit fits correctly. A suit that is too tight can cause chafing. If the issue persists, consider if a different cut or style might be more suitable for your body type and swimming style.
