Your swimwear has been carefully designed and constructed to give the best fit, comfort and performance in the water. However, factors such as chlorine, strong sunlight or heat, sun lotions and perspiration can all degrade the fabric or colour and cause your suit to age prematurely.

By following these simple care guidelines you can maximise the life of your suit:

Do:

• Thoroughly rinse your suit in fresh, cool water immediately after use.
• Hang your suit to dry in the shade or well ventilated area after use.
• Wash in mild soaps only and rinse well.

Don't:

• Wash your suit using harsh soaps or detergents.
• Dry your suit in direct sunlight, on a radiator, or in a tumble dryer.
• Roll your suit in a towel after use. This retains any remaining heat and chemicals in close contact with the fabric, which can accelerate deterioration.
• Wring or iron.

Try to avoid:

• Sun creams and lotions coming into contact with your suit as they may stain fabric
• Saunas, spas and hot tubs
• Rough surfaces which could snag or tear the fabric
