There are commercial (expensive!) products you can buy, but what's worked best for me is just putting a pinch of baking soda in the water and letting it soak for a few minutes. The baking soda neutralizes the acid formed by the chlorine.

Just make sure you rinse it straight after you've used it, in chlorine free water and just hang to drip dry. If you are using your swim suit more than 5 times a week for an hour or more at a time, then it will be hard to avoid some sort of minimal disintegration within a few months anyway.

Take it off. Rinse in fresh water. Now the suit.

at some swim stores they have special formulas u put in the washer and add u suit by itself that gets rid of the clorine. other than that rinse(with clorine free /tap water) them afer use is the best thing to do.

One gets a better-made swimming suit! I've given mine no special care, and they've lasted years!

My swimsuits are fine. I just hang them to dry and then wash them in the washing machine. Had them for YEARS. Still look spanking new
