Squeeze a couple of lemons into a pail and add water to cover the costume. Soak in it overnight.

Same as the answer above - zest and juice a lemon and put into a washing up bowl. Add as little water as possible and swish the swimming costume around in it for a little while. Don't leave it for a long time though coz it might bleach.

Always rinse costumes well after leaving the pool - I swim daily and mine last about 6 weeks! The chlorine is a killer.

two things. one wear it in the shower and when you wash your hair the shampoo will go through the suit and rinse and the cholrine will go with it. Or you can try mixing lemon juice in a sink and soaking it. Then don't rinse and wear it. (lemon juice won't hurt your skin) but the lemon juice may wear out the material faster becuase of its acidity if you do it every day

Just rinse in fresh water or soak it over nite in cold water.
If you live near the ocean just go swimming in salt water & then rinse or soak over nite.

After swimming rinse it with cold water and ring out, the cold water will also help you keep the color as good as new.

Uh...I don't know, sorry. I swim almost every day, and all of my bathing suits smell like chlorine.
