YingFa Sharkskin suits are a blend of 81% polyester/19% chlorine resistant Lycra.

Aqua skin suits are a blend of 82% polyester / 18% Chlorine resistant Lycra.

Improvements in swimming suit technology have produced polyester, the more durable form of nylon, and the new chlorine resistant lycra (spandex).

Training suits should be comfortable to allow easy movements with good coverage and support.

When selecting a size for competition, it should be snug, but not too tight to put strain on the shoulders, pinch or ride up in the back.

In spite of the advance in fibre technology, chlorine will in time break down the fabric. When it starts to "bag" or stretch out - it is time to replace your racing suit, and use the old one for training.

When trying on your YingFa suit, it is advisable to cover the feet with a plastic bag to insure there will be not damage from toenails etc.
