Do You "Wash" Your Swimsuit?

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. Dan

  • For my training suits, I just let them hang dry during the week (only rinse 'em if I take a shower after practice, which happens once or twice a week, other than that, no rinse, just hang dry), then throw them in with my laundry when I run a load on the weekend. For my tech suits, I try to remember to rinse with cold water and hang dry, but every now and then I forget and toss them in the laundry. Usually I buy a new tech suit for spring Nationals and then it becomes my regular meet suit for the next year. Don't care too much about how I take care of it after the first couple of meets.
