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

  • after a swim, i typically lather up with suit on; this way, the shampoo/soap is helping clean up the sweat. we have suit spinners, so a post-shower rinse and spin wraps up the process. the only suits i throw in the washing machine are my jammers; i wear them under my hockey jock while playing hockey, so they get good and sweaty. i try to clean the crap out of all my hockey gear. those suits never see a swim workout.
