Xtra Life Lycra delivers the properties of Lycra, such as the soft feeling and beautiful fit but also gives swimwear a longer life with less fading and without becoming as baggy. Xtra Life Lycra is resistant to chlorine and pool chemicals 5 - 10 times longer than regular Elastane. This makes Xtra Life Lycra an excellent choice as fitness or training swimwear for male and females. But choose a swimsuit with a high Polyester content and less Lycra, for longer life. We sell Xtra Life Lycra swimwear in both www.acquawear.com (Korean Swimwear and Kneesuits) and www.curvybathers.com (Kneesuits) shops. Our Korean made Kneesuits Jkuss and Tornado are extremely popular, because of the outstanding prints, soft and body hugging fabrics and styles with Lycra content 20%, see individual listings.

100% Polyester and PBT swimwear fabrics are by far the most durable and long lasting. Although not as comfortable against the skin as Lycra based fabrics, Polyester/PBT blends are without a doubt the best training swimwear for men and women, due to their incredibly long lifespan. Chlorine proof swimwear has less stretch and thus provides a tighter fit and some people, maybe not as used to regular swim training, might find it constricting and need some time to get used to. The fabrics are less stretchy than Lycra so make sure that you check the size and measurements charts and read the advice of how the suits fit given by the seller, as they most likely have feedback not only from the manufacturer, but also from the customers. Swimsuits made of 100% polyester should retain their colour for at least a year of regular use, but most last much longer and are called chlorine proof for this reason. Chlorine resistant (proof) swimsuits also keep their shape because polyester isn't destroyed by chlorine like nylon or Spandex. Most of the top swimwear brands feature a range of durable PBT or 100% Polyester swimwear, and some brands manufacture exclusively their colourful swimsuits from durable fabrics. All our Delfina custom printed swimwear (except Kneesuits) for women or guys and for clubs are made out of chlorine proof fabrics and are the best choice for maximum swimsuit life and value for money. We stock also Korean brands in small sizes on our Acquawear website (Jkuss, Hoog and TSNine) chlorine proof swimsuits, just look for "T" in the product code and description (Tough, 100% Polyester).

If you order from stock, the usual return / exchange terms and conditions apply. Custom printed items have different return terms. Please check the product or team order terms before confirming.

Eco Fabrics - Carvico Xlance Eco For all our Delfina custom made swimwear (for Men and Women) SINCE 2021 (except Kneesuits), we use the Eco fabric Xlance, newly released by the Italian manufacturer Carvico. It is an eco-sustainable fabric designed to promote re-use, recycling and respect for our environment. According to Carvico, the fabric shows extraordinary performance in terms of resistance to chlorine, ensure perfect fit, exceptional comfort and a unique, contemporary and elegant ‘Made in Italy’ style, and they are revolutionizing the worlds of swimwear and sportswear. XLANCE fabrics put together XLANCE unique, high-tech elastomeric fibre and a selection of exceptional and eco-sustainable yarns to meet the requirements of the market and the latest swimwear and sportswear trends, Carvico explains. “Moreover, they are eco-sustainable. Carvico has always operated in the view to safeguarding the environment promoting a more sustainable fashion. XLANCE fabrics stem from a long and thorough research process for fully sustainable raw materials and production processes,” the company says. “XLANCE elastomer is produced without the use of solvents and can be thermoset at lower temperatures compared to fabrics containing standard elastomers thus reducing CO2 emissions and saving relevant amounts of energy.” “XLANCE elastomer is here mixed with several eco-sustainable yarns: ECONYL (used in XLANCE ECO), a 100% regenerated nylon yarn from pre and post-consumer waste materials such as discarded fishing nets, carpet fluff and tulle, and a regenerated polyester yarn from PET bottles (used in XLANCE PLAY).” ​ “XLANCE fabrics ensure a perfect fit and maximum comfort and fits the body like a second skin adapting and shaping its curves and offering athletes support and maximum freedom of movement, Soft and pleasant to the touch, all these fabrics are suitable for printing (sublimation and digital). ”Sport as a lifestyle, wellbeing as a state of mind “XLANCE World by Carvico offers a selection of high-performance fabrics ideal for training and competition swimwear, which can satisfy the needs of every athlete without forgetting about an exclusive 100% made in Italy style and glamour,” the company adds.

Lycra (also known as Spandex or Elastane) is always mixed with another fibre, usually polyamide (known also as nylon) to give it resilience and stretch. A Lycra swimsuit will generally last less than 2-3 months if exposed to chlorine regularly, it will fade and becomes baggy as the chlorine breaks down the fibres. Lycra swimwear is a choice for leisure swimmers and those who seldom visit the pool, swim in open water or take a dip on holiday. The material is soft against the skin, very comfortable and the prices are generally cheaper.

For the best fit, our swimwear made from Xlance Eco fabric should be snug, not baggy. This ensures you achieve the ideal shape in the water. The fabric has excellent stretch, so it will conform to your body comfortably. Make sure your suit is tight enough to provide support but not so tight that it restricts movement. A well-fitted suit enhances your swimming experience and performance.

It is so easy to come home tired from the pool, lake, river or beach and just stick the swimsuit in the washing machine, together with the towel, and dry it after on a hot radiator or even stick it in the dryer! But please, DON’T DO IT!!! If you want your suit to last, keep its colours and shape, just DON’T DO IT! Remember to never wash your swimming costume with detergents or in a washing machine. Just give it a good rinse straight after exiting the pool and hang the suit to dry away from a source of heat, and this will ensure the longest possible lifespan for your swimsuit, whatever fabric it's made from. We have a lot of personal experiences in using swimwear, and if you think your suit has become a bit grubby with body oils or the algae from river / lake, just hand-wash it a bit more thoroughly in a basin, with some Fairy Liquid or any dish soap and hang it on a banister. Swimsuits that haven't been properly cared for, as per the manufacturer's label / seller's instructions - swimwear that has been machined washed, put in spinners, centrifuges, dryers will void any warranty.

The answer is a definite NO. We don't work with any other companies and our website doesn't let Google or any other companies advertise on it.

The swimwear size on our website is the same as the Lingerie and Swimwear Sizing you use when buying a bra. We have measured some of the swimsuits (each individual style and size) and put them in a table for you to compare the measurements to the swimsuit you currently wear. Please see individual product for its own measurements chart. For all Waterpolo swimsuits, bear in mind that they are lined with the same fabric as the swimsuit, so that would make a difference to the fitting, so please allow an extra size up for the extra thickness. Manufacturer's chart with equivalent sizes also available for our eco friendly swim costumes.

Any past print can be made for you, but the minimum order is five pieces, so if you get together with friends and family, you can place this very small order together.

O design será adaptado agora para todas as peças que você precisa como parte do seu kit, mas mais peças podem ser adicionadas no futuro. Além disso, você tem que decidir se algum item precisa ser personalizado e escolher a colocação, tamanho e fonte dos nomes ou iniciais. Há uma taxa extra de £ 2,50 / nome / peça. O design completo precisa ser aprovado e os membros terão que escolher tamanhos e estilos. ​ Nossos kits são da mais alta qualidade e são fabricados em instalações modernas da UE. Os tecidos utilizados para a roupa de banho são resistentes ao cloro e totalmente forrados em forro branco (forro preto disponível por um acréscimo de 10%). A calcinha masculina de polo aquático é feita de tecido duplo. ​ Geralmente, os tamanhos disponíveis vão do tamanho 20 ao tamanho 40, mas alguns estilos femininos estão disponíveis até o tamanho 48 (roupas do Reino Unido 24/26). ​ Depois que o pedido for feito, enviaremos nossa fatura, que deverá ser paga estritamente antes do envio do pedido. Leva apenas 3-4 semanas para receber seu pedido (dependendo do tipo de entrega necessário: Expresso ou Econômico). ​ Os pedidos repetidos não estão limitados a qualquer quantidade, mas se o pedido for menor que 5 peças, há uma taxa administrativa de £ 20 adicionada à conta final. O pedido mínimo para agasalhos é de 10 peças em todos os momentos, incluindo novos pedidos. Você pode achar que será mais econômico fazer um pedido de repetição maior, pois a postagem pode ser bastante substancial. A postagem é extra e inclui uma taxa de entrega especial extra da Irlanda do Norte para a Grã-Bretanha (se for enviado diretamente de nossa fábrica na UE, os clientes terão que pagar impostos alfandegários). Observe que os preços listados no site no momento do pedido são os preços que você pagará pelo seu pedido. Observe que os preços podem mudar de um pedido para outro; por exemplo. um aumento de 18% no preço de fábrica a partir de 1º de agosto.

Temos uma ampla variedade de modelos que podem ser personalizados. Recomendamos que comece com um maiô e um par de jammers ou cuecas e, quando o design for aprovado, transferimos para todos os itens que você precisa como parte do seu kit. É a maneira mais fácil e rápida! Se você é muito específico sobre a tonalidade da cor, envie-nos o código Pantone ou enviaremos a amostra da cor do tecido. As cores da resolução da tela são mais claras que o tom do tecido, por isso não recomendamos que você escolha as cores sem ver a amostra de cores do tecido. ​ Assim que aprovar o design, você pode começar a escolher as peças do kit. Por experiência, descobrimos que os membros do clube preferem escolher o tipo de traje que podem ter, pois trajes diferentes se ajustam a diferentes tipos de corpo, portanto, quanto mais opções eles tiverem, maior a probabilidade de encomendar. Não se esqueça, incluídos nos modelos de trajes de banho do clube estão peças de trajes de banho profissionais (fatos de banho aprovados pela FINA), trajes de corrida que podem ser personalizados de acordo com as necessidades do seu clube. Os agasalhos podem ser encomendados separadamente, mas observe que o pedido mínimo de agasalhos é de 10 peças em todos os momentos, incluindo novos pedidos. ​ Para o tamanho, recomendamos que todos os membros do clube verifiquem as tabelas de tamanhos e/ou tabela de medidas de trajes de banho (quando incluído). Temos alguns kits de tamanhos para formas antigas, mas para todas as formas incluídas na seção Modelos, use as tabelas fornecidas, pois o fabricante não fornece mais kits de tamanhos.

Envie-nos o logotipo do seu clube em um arquivo de alta resolução. Preferimos arquivos vetoriais, mas um .jpeg de alta resolução seria suficiente. Deixe-nos saber suas cores e uma breve ideia do design. Quanto melhor você tiver uma ideia de como o design deve ficar, mais fácil será para o designer criar algo que você goste. Você tem duas horas livres de trabalho de designer, o que deve ser suficiente para um design simples (é por isso que recomendamos um bom briefing). ​ Você pode ter um novo design feito gratuitamente* (veja acima), desde que esteja preparado para encomendar um mínimo de 20 peças feitas nesse design.

We ship quickly across the UK and internationally. If your kneesuit isn’t the right fit, you can return it as long as the swimsuit is unused.

For post-swim warmth → pick a size close to your swimsuit size for comfort (but avoid going larger). Always check the Measurements Chart on each product page for precise sizing guidance. Many of our thermal tops also come in our signature Owls and Bluetits prints, so you can match them with your favourite swimsuits.

- To make you more streamlined when swimming, especially for competitive swimmers. A swimming cap should keep your hair out of your face when swimming and will reduce water drag. - To protect your hair from chlorine damage: Especially if you wet your hair before putting your cap on and go in the pool, the caps will prevent your hair from becoming saturated with the chlorinated water. - Hygiene: People who swim without a cap lose hair in the pool which in turn will clog up the filters. - Warmth: If you swim in open water a swimming hat will help to keep you warm in the cold water. You could also double up the caps.

They are not designed to keep your hair dry! If you read the instructions on our RAS swimming caps, they recommend you wet your hair before putting the cap on! Although some caps will do a good job keeping your hair dry, this is not their scope. If you want to keep your hair dry as much as possible, you can use a silicone cap which gives a tight fit and should keep most of the water out, or wear 2 caps.

Rinse in cool water immediately after swimming, roll in a towel to remove excess water, dry flat away from heat / sunlight, and avoid fabric softeners and machine washing to preserve elasticity and print.
