How to Take Care of Swimming Costume

Whether you are a regular swimmer or occasional, you need to take proper care of your swimsuit. If you do not take the needed care, the fabric will be damaged from the harsh chemicals, salt water, high temperatures and sand. Since bathing suits do not come cheap, they should be taken care of in the best possible way. You can follow certain measures to take care of your swimming costume:

• Rinse your swimming costume under cool tap water whenever you use it. If possible, soak it in cool water for at least thirty minutes. This will remove all the harsh chemicals, sand, salt, sunscreen lotion and body oils.
• Plain water is not enough to remove all the chlorine. Therefore, you should wash your swimming costume with a mild detergent. You can also use a little shampoo to wash your swimming suit but do not use shampoos that contain conditioners in them.
• You must remove all stains while washing your swimsuit, be it some ketchup or food. You can sprinkle some baking soda on the stain and let it sit for some time. Then you can wash it in cool water. It is very difficult to remove the stains of self-tanners. Therefore, you should always wear an old swimming costume while applying self-tanners. Another great way to remove stains is to wear your swimsuit to the shower. The stain, sand and chlorine get washed away with the force of water.
• While washing your swimsuit, you should turn it inside out. Follow up with swishing it for several minutes before rinsing.
• Do not wring your swimming costume after washing it. Just remove the excess water and squeeze the swimsuit gently to avoid any damage.
• Do not put your swimsuit under direct sunlight. UV rays can damage and fade your swimsuit. It is advisable to air dry your swimsuit.
• It is advised not to hang your swimsuit as the fibres might get stretched out. Better store it flat in your cupboard. Never store your swimming suits in plastic bags because it can lead to the growth of bacteria and mildew.
• Never use chlorine bleach to remove stains from your swimming costume as it can damage the fabric.
• If you do not have mild detergent at home, you can use distilled white vinegar to wash your swimming costume. Distilled white vinegar can deodorise your swimsuit as well as remove all bacteria from your swimming suit.
• If you have a broken strap or there is a small hole in your swimming suit, there is no need to discard it. Just use a polyester thread and sew your swimsuit to perfection. For bigger repairs, you can go to a professional tailor.

FAQs

1. Are swimming costumes supposed to be tight?

Yes, a swimming costume should be tight because it helps improve free movement in the water. But it should be perfectly fitted to let you breathe and move properly. Your swimsuit should feel like your second skin and the fabric should not dig into your skin. You should be able to fit two fingers between your skin and the elastic bands.

2. How long does a swimming costume last?

The longevity of a swimsuit depends on various factors. But if you purchase a good quality swimming costume, it should last for five months to one year or more. The quality of the fabric, usability and the amount of chlorine in the water where you swim also determine how long your swimming costume would last.

3. Do we need to wear a bra under a swimming costume?

Swimming costumes are generally made with materials that are appropriate for water use and can also absorb less water and dry faster. A bra will absorb more water and make swimming difficult. Most swimming costumes are available with built-in underwire cups or the support of a bra. Therefore, there is no need to wear a bra under your swimming costume.

4. What types of clothes are allowed in a swimming pool?

Snug fitted clothes made from lycra and nylon materials are allowed in swimming pools. Materials such as cotton tend to break down while swimming which might cause the fibres to clog pores. Moreover, cotton absorbs a lot of water making the swimming costume heavy and difficult to swim with. Lycra and nylon are non-absorbent materials that aid in better swimming.

5. Why do swimmers wear tight swimsuits?

Swimming requires the efficiency of movement in the water. Tight swimsuits reduce friction and help the swimmer in forwarding motion. A tight swimsuit helps reduce muscle vibration and reduces drag. The swimsuits should be like your second skin but they should not dig into your skin. They should be breathable and provide maximum comfort.

6. How should I care for my swimsuit?

Although you can machine wash your swimsuit, to increase longevity, you should hand wash your swimsuit. It is recommended to wash your swimsuit in cold water with a mild detergent. You should never tumble dry and bleach your swimsuit. You should also rinse your swimsuit after swimming and never leave it wet.

7. How often should you wash your swimming costume?

Wash your swimming costume after every use to remove the chlorine from it and avoid the build-up of mould. Moreover, washing your swimming costume after every use prevents damage to the elastane.

8. Can swimsuits be machine-washed?

Although swimming dresses for women are machine washable, it is recommended to hand-wash them with cold water and a mild detergent. Also, do not tumble dry or bleach to make them last longer.

9. Does washing swimsuits after every use impact the quality?

No. It is, in fact, advisable to wash swimsuits after every use to remove the extra chlorine. This prevents the elastane from being damaged.
