With the vast array of fabrics, colors, styles, and UV protectants in swimwear, the question of care is always a factor. If your kids are anything like mine, you come home from your day of swimming and your lucky if you don’t find their damp swimsuit crumpled in a corner of their room. Getting into the habit of caring for the swimwear will allow it to look it’s best throughout the season. Many of the swimwear manufacturers say that washing in cold water and air drying is the recommended method. I have found that the best method to keep the suits looking there best is to simply rinse out a suit in cold water after each swim and air dry. Chlorine is very hard on the fabrics and tends to fade the colors, so make sure after a pool swim it is rinsed quickly and well.  I have hooks in my laundry room that are used for backpacks during the school year, and drying swimwear in the summer. Good luck keeping them off bedroom floors and have a great summer!
