It’s swimwear season, and one bathing suit just isn’t going to be enough.
Just like other types of clothing, different swimsuits are needed for different situations. For example, if you do a lot of active swimming for exercise, then you need chlorine-resistant swimwear specifically for that. After all, you wouldn’t wear a party dress and high heels to mow the lawns, so don’t wear your good bathers for lane swimming or water aerobics, says owner Alice Stielow.
“You have your stylish swimwear for sitting around the pool or at the beach on holiday. It’s handy to have more than one pair of bathers as well,” Alice says. “Because if you jump in the hotel pool in the morning before sightseeing and lunch, you don’t want to have to put your wet swimsuit back on for an afternoon dip.”

The answer? Have a range of swimsuits for different activities. “Caring for your swimwear is important too, even if it’s chlorine-resistant,” Alice says. We supply a care sheet with every purchase because the right care makes your swimwear last much longer.”
