Product care
How should I care for my training swimwear?
- Always rinse in clean water after every use
- Dry in the shade โ UV exposure deteriorates fabric faster
- Don't leave swimwear rolled in a wet towel for extended periods
- Avoid excessive chlorine, hot spas, and heated pools where possible โ heat and chemicals accelerate wear
- Avoid contact with sunscreen, perfume, deodorant, tanning products, and perspiration โ these can stain and break down elastic fibres
- Avoid rough surfaces (concrete pool edges, waterslides) that cause pilling and fabric damage
- Remove trapped sand by gently running a fingernail across the fabric
- Do not iron or tumble dry
- If your swimwear has a drawcord, pull both cords inward to tighten โ pulling them apart can tear the drawcord holes
How should I care for my technical (performance) racing suit?
- Rinse in fresh cold water immediately after use โ remove all chlorinated or salt water
- Cold hand wash only โ no machine washing
- Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean
- Drip dry flat in the shade
- Store completely dry in a cool place away from direct sunlight
