There's a few things you can do with the suits to not get them faded.
-Don't stretch them out. This will keep the fabric in good condition and won't let light through which is why clothes look faded.
-Always wash out your suit in a sink after you swim so that the chemicals don't affect them. I know a kid how HAD a navy blue drag suit and it's now not even light blue, it's just completely white.

This happened to me too- SO annoying, agreed.
Now I make sure to rinse it as soon as I come out of the pool-in the shower and the sink. I let it soak for awhile too.
The cause of the fading is probably the chlorine in the pool. A better quality swim suit may also help- but I know the one I had was a good quality and it still literally deteriorated and faded.
I've heard lifeguards recommend this, and the one I have seems to work well is the Speedo Endurance bathing suit (I'm assuming you are a swimmer who is in the water a lot, and this isn't just a bikini). It's made of a different material and it doesn't fade/deteriorate.
Hope this helps.

There are a few things you can do:
*Aways rinse your bathing suit after you swim. Make sure the water is cold, though.
*Don't go into hot tubs- Warm or hot water REALLY wears out your suit.
*Get any chlorine out of it ASAP
*Don't put your suit in a suit spinner- let it drip dry

Always make sure to rinse your suit in non chlorinated water when you are done swimming. You can also use a suit cleaner to prolong the life. Here is a link

always wash the chlorine off after going swimming to keep from fading the color away!

-Wash the suit in cold water as soon as you get out of the pool
-Do NOT use a suit dryer if it is still 'chlorinated'
-Use no hot water on it
-try not to stretch wearing it

well i think the clorine makes ur close fade alot..
so maybe if u go swimming on ur pool then try the not liquid clorine , that would help.
cuz the liquid clorine will aventually mix with the water and ur swimmsuit and it will pretty much change its colour and fade it out

attempt washing it in chilly water earlier you place on it and dry it interior the coloration. in no way dry it interior the solar and make certain that it fairly is been rinsed thoroughly of all chlorine. attempt to no longer positioned on it in a heated pool or spa.

in general, try not to get chemicals on it at all. especially hair products. so take it off, and soak it in water for a while, then let it drip-dry. otherwise products and other things will bleach it like yours did.
-good luck in the future!
