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.

Wash it in the shower after swim practice; wring it by hand slightly then into the suit spinner for a few seconds, not the full cycle. I have never had a suit eaten by the spinner, but then again I only spin a few seconds to get the suit un-drippy, not to actually dry it.
I also wash periodically - but not regularly - with regular laundry in the machine on regular cycle - no problem even forgetting and putting through the dry cycle either. I wear a 34 speedo endurance swimsuit, so the material is more lasting, and they wear out when the straps and seams breakdown, not the material itself.
For tech suits, I wash in the shower after my last swim. Turn inside out to wash. To dry, wring out slightly. Then lay out 1 or 2 towels and put the suit on it, Fold or roll the towel over and then step on the towel, letting your body weight do the wringing. It should be damp but no longer drippy. Then shake it out, not super hard, but it will let some more water out. Then hang to dry.
