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

  • On a related note… How do you dry your suit? After my swim and before I hop in the shower, the suit goes in first for a good rinse under cold water. Before I head out of the locker room, I loosely roll my suit up in my towel for the drive home. At home, it gets thrown over the shower rod to air dry. This (simple!) routine gets me a good 300 miles of wear out of my Tyr Durafast or Speedo Endurance (50% PBT/ 50%) grab bag polyester suits from Swim Outlet. :banana:
