Swimwear should be made to keep up with you, whether you're swimming laps, spending the day by the pool or simply enjoying summer. Chlorine-resistant swimwear is specially designed to better withstand regular exposure to chlorinated water, making it a practical choice if you swim frequently or spend a lot of time in the pool.
At DeBra's, our swimwear collection includes both cup-sized and non-cup-sized styles, so you can choose the fit and sizing approach that works best for you. With options across a range of sizes, styles and support levels, finding swimwear that fits your body doesn't have to mean compromising on how you want to look or feel.
Why chlorine resistant swimwear is worth it
If you're regularly in the pool, chlorine-resistant swimwear can be a worthwhile addition to your swimwear drawer. Chlorine can affect swimwear fabrics over time, particularly with frequent exposure, so specially engineered chlorine-resistant fabrics are designed to better maintain their shape, colour and performance through repeated pool use.
That doesn't mean regular swimwear isn't suitable for swimming. Chlorine-resistant styles are simply a practical option for those who spend more time in chlorinated water and want swimwear designed with that use in mind.
A range built for real bodies
This collection spans cup-sized one piece swimsuits, supportive bikini tops and briefs, high-waisted styles and mastectomy swimwear, with brands including Elomi Swim, Panache Swimwear, Artesands, Miraclesuit Swimwear and Zoggs.
Our chlorine-resistant swimwear collection includes supportive styles designed with fuller busts in mind, alongside options for different levels of coverage and personal preference. Whether you prefer a classic one-piece, a two-piece or something with more coverage, our fitters can help you find a style that feels secure and comfortable in and out of the water.
Frequently Asked Questions About Chlorine Resistant Swimwear
What makes swimwear chlorine resistant?
It is made from specially engineered fabrics designed to withstand repeated exposure to chlorine. These fabrics are designed to help swimwear retain its shape, stretch and colour through regular pool use.
Does chlorine resistant swimwear come in fuller bust sizes?
Yes. This collection includes both cup-sized and non-cup-sized styles, in wired and non-wired designs, so whether you prefer a more precise cup-sized fit or a flexible dress-size fit, there are options designed with fuller busts in mind.
Can I wear chlorine resistant swimwear in the ocean?
Absolutely. Chlorine-resistant swimwear can also be worn in the ocean, at the beach or anywhere else you'd normally wear swimwear. Just remember to rinse it after swimming and follow the care instructions for the garment.
Is chlorine-resistant swimwear better than regular swimwear?
Not necessarily. It depends on how you wear your swimwear. If you regularly swim in a chlorinated pool, chlorine-resistant swimwear can be a practical choice. If you mainly swim at the beach, on holidays or only occasionally use a pool, regular quality swimwear may be perfectly suitable.
How do I care for chlorine resistant swimwear?
Rinse it in cool water after every swim, then dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing, hot water and the dryer, and always follow the care instructions on the garment.
