Do you wash your swimsuit? I'm talking about putting it in the regular laundry with your other dirty clothes. I don't think I've ever "washed" any of my suits. I feel like it's clean enough coming out of the pool, and then showered in. A couple of years ago I became the sole launderer for my family. We have an in-ground pool and in the summers my work-at-home wife likes to lounge by the pool. But she's a 'bather' and not a fitness swimmer like us. Yet she puts her suits in the laundry. I think it's weird, but it's not a fight I'm going to take on. Just wondering if others wash their swimsuits.

+1. Always read the tag and follow those instructions if you want your suit to last. I've kept track of my suit mileage in my FLOG, and my Speedo Endurance suits as well as my Tyr Durafast suits last about 300 miles. I'm sure that wouldn't have been the case had I not followed the recommendations for care. Sure, my suit smells like chlorine after it dries, but so what? It's going to end up right back in the chlorine the following day! :agree:
I am bad, I guess. I rinse mine (in the shower), but that's all - then I hang it on my locker. Sure they last 18-24 months (300+ miles) but I get bored with them after a while, I actually rotate about 3-4 suits all the time, cuz, I don't think I could stand wearing the same one every day. But at 18 months or so, I toss them, even if they are still good.
