Is Speedo good for swimwear?
Yes, Speedo is one of the most world renowned brands of swimwear available, producing high quality swimwear for many years Speedo is a first choice for many professional swimmers.
How long do Speedo swimsuits last?
There is no definitive answer to that question, although manufacturer’s guides state that a swimsuit should last anywhere between three months to a year.
That statement is sometimes accompanied by the phrase “with normal usage” but what exactly is normal usage?
For a professional or dedicated swimmer that could mean swimming daily or several times a week at least, whereas to many others, normal usage could be popping down to the local pool once a week.
Also to be taken into account is whether swimming is pool only or is the sea the main venue for a dip.
Although 3 – 12 months is the general guide, if good care is taken of your Speedo swimsuit you will probably find that the swimsuit will serve its purpose for several years.
Is Speedo a Japanese brand?
No, not at all, Speedo is an Australian brand founded in 1914 but now based in the UK. The Speedo logo depicts a small boomerang as a nod to its Australian roots.
Should you wash your swimsuit after every use?
Depending on certain factors a swimsuit need not be washed after every use. If for example the suit is worn for a swim in the pool then simply hanging it up afterwards to dip dry will suffice.
If on the other hand, the swimsuit is worn for lounging around the poolside or walking along the beach then yes of course, by all means, wash it, hygienically it makes sense to do so.
Likewise, with swimming in the sea, it is recommended to wash a swimsuit afterwards as salt water can be very detrimental to fabric especially if left unwashed.
How often should I get a new swimsuit?
When a swimsuit becomes faded, worn or seems ill-fitting then maybe it is time to get a new one.
Some swimsuits follow traditional styles and patterns but others may be more seasonal or trendy. What is the style now may not be in say twelve months so probably getting a new swimsuit would be an option then.
