Summer is really a good time for swimming. When it comes to swimming, many people wonder how to select suitable swimwear for themselves and what matters should they pay attention to when they are purchasing swimwear. How can we make our swimsuits last longer and how can we take care of them? These are the questions many people are concerned about, and these questions are what we are going to talk about today.
 
It is recommended that you should purchase the swimsuits which are soft and with good elasticity. The swimsuits should also have poor water absorption which will help reduce the weight of the wet swimsuits and decrease the resistance of water. Swimsuits made of more than 15% spandex are able to make you easy to stretch with your body movement. There are a variety of factors you can refer to when you are buying swimsuits, and the factors include elasticity, density and breathability. It is not always correct that the better the elasticity is, the greater the swimsuits will be. Whether a swimsuit is top quality or not should be judged on the its fabric's resilience. If the swimsuit can go back to its original appearance quickly after it is stretched or pulled for many times and it also feels good, it means that this swimsuit not only has good resilience, but also has good quality, and it deserves buying. As the swimwear belongs to the sportswear which usually have good elasticity, it is not suggested that you should choose the splicing style swimsuit, because the swimsuit may split when you are swimming due to the large movement of your body.
 
Some swimming lovers like to put the swimsuit together with the dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash them, but the swimsuit may quickly become a waste after washing. When it comes to the maintenance of swimwear, you should pay attention to the aspects as follows.

1. Exposing the swimsuit to the sun for a long time will hurt the elasticity of the swimsuit. The fabric of the swimsuits will harden and lose the elasticity. Swimsuits should be dried naturally.

2. It is better for swimmers to make their swimsuits wet before they enter swimming pools.

3. Avoid making the swimsuit have contact with the rough rock or ground to prevent the fabric of the swimsuit from having the pilling.

4. If the swimmers apply the sunscreen to their whole bodies, it is better for them to wear the swimsuits until the sunscreen becomes dry.
 
5. The swimsuit should be washed gently as soon as possible with the water below 35℃ by hand. Do not wash it by the washing machine, and do not use the detergent, the bleaching agent, etc. when you wash it.
 
6. Avoid putting the wet swimsuits together with other clothes in plastic bags for long periods of time.
