Chlorine eating my swimming costume

Heliflyguy

You could use a dechlorinator (Sodium Thiosulphate) solution to rinse the costume out when home.

The easiest available are from aquarium shops or online, these also contain treatment for chlorimine that is added to tap water but not necessary for your use.

A cheaper option is this:

Well, it would certainly solve the problem of the swimming pool being busy

I swim 4-5 times a week and am very lazy about doing anything to my costume. I shower in it, wrap it in a towel and hang it to dry when I get home. It hardly ever gets a wash. I think I've had it about a year now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tweka-Rita-Swimsuit-14-Black/dp/B00FGOZ5XW/ref=sr_1_41?ie=UTF8&qid=1397005378&sr=8-41&keywords=tweka

We used to buy endurance swimsuits when the kids were in a club.
I think they were by speedo.
The suits with a higher ratio of Elastane in lasted better IIRC. I think it was 40% Elastane or better if you could find it but that was quite a while ago.

I seen in the news the other week that Zoggs.com are releasing an Aqualast range of swimwear. It's chlorine resistant and it's meant to last for life. So that maybe is your solution? If I remember rightly, it was either out late Aug, early sep. Hope that is a good solution for you

I agre with most comments on here two children both train around 15 hrs per week. I buy speedo or maru, go for end of season lines to save money. Mine rinse them out and then I was on a sport wash as soon as they get home. Costumes and Jammers last then around 6-9 mnths.
