Any tips on making my suit last longer?

As a fellow swimmer, I know what you mean. It seems that some suits just fall apart or fade out real fast. However, I have been ale to keep many of mine going for quite a while.

First, not sure how you rinse in the shower, but if you leave them on, suggest you take them off and really rinse them well in the shower. Make sure you do the inside and outside.

Second, always make sure they can dry out. Lots of my swim buds throw their suits in their bags or their lockers and they never get dry. Even a little chloring residue on a wet suit can continue to eat away at the material.

Third, I avoid washing them in the wash machine. I figure the chlorinated pool kills anything and a good shwoer rinse is all they need. I only wash them if I wear them at the beach or for other recreation activities. When I do wash, I only wash them alone, with nothing else, but for maybe running shorts.

Good luck.
