How to take care of your bathing suit.

If you have a bathing that may be a expensive, it's a good idea to take care of it. After your done swimming, diving(this goes for all water sports). You should rinse out the chlorine and/or salt in cold water mixed with baking soda. After rinsing it with cold water and baking soda, you hang it to dry. Depending on what pool you go to and and what they use to disinfect their pool, there could be either of the two in there and even maybe another different chemical. If you don't rinse out the chlorine and/or salt your bathing suit will start to disintegrate and it won't last as long. This has happened to me once and it was very unfortunate. My bathing suit was all stretched out and the colors faded, it was never the same. To protect the color, you can take some vinegar and soak your bathing suit in it for twenty four hours and then just let it dry. After that the colors in your bathing suit should last as long as the suit does.
