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

  • Yes, I wash it in clean cold water. Hang it up to dry. I still have a racing suit from 1962 that I could wear...if I had the nerve...back then we called them tank suits made from thin nylon. However, from 1966 until 2014 I wasn't in a pool. Remember the days of no goggles...eye drops, and swim, swim, swim until you dropped. The next day you started all over again. My eyes would burn for hours. If I had to choose the best training aid in swimming it would be the goggles.
