In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Garment Care
It must be appreciated that Lycra is a delicate material and the life is very limited in Chlorinated water. The Strength of chemicals will vary from pool to pool, therefore if a high level of chlorine is used in the pool this may degrade the lycra quicker. The garment should be hand washed in cold water immediately after use; chlorine continues to affect the Lycra when left in your sports bag or towel. Avoid wrapping the costume in a towel. If possible put your costume/suit into a mesh equipment bag where it can breathe, this is the ideal way to transport your costume/suit home. Detergents/shampoo and shower gel will degrade lycra quickly we recommend that you Do not Shower in your suit, Do not machine wash your suits just rinse in cold water. To dry your suit just air dry away from direct sun light, radiators and Do NOT tumble dry. Sitting on rough pool side surfaces can also ruin the material. Follow these guides and you will get more hours out of your suit.

Correct Suit Sizing
It is the customer’s responsibility to correctly measure themselves or the swimmer and to check the manufacturers sizing guides on Sharks Swim Shop Website. Customer Services are available to give advice and help with advice on the sizing, but they cannot see the swimmer or how the measurements are taken, so Sharks Swim Shop does not bear any responsibility for the suit not being the correct sizing when received, it is the customer’s total responsibility for the size ordered. Swimwear sizing varies between manufacturers and this is why suits can be returned for exchanged to allow customers to get the right fit.
