Does your fabric contain chemicals?

No, Snapper Rock Swimwear does not contain any added chemicals, or lead. 
 

How does the fabric get the sun protection in it?

Snapper Rock Swimwear provide an Ultra Violet Protection Factor of 50+ which is about as high as it goes!.  What makes the fabric provide sun protection is due to the fabric itself - the denser the weave of the fabric, the more sun protection it offers. Other factors such as color, and whether the fabric is wet or dry also play a part in the sun protection, but all Snapper Rock swimwear whatever the color, wet or dry blocks 98% of all harmful rays. So you can rest assured you children will not be getting sun burnt whilst wearing Snapper Rock.
 

What is the best way to care for my Snapper Rock Swimwear?

The care label is located inside your garment.  As with all swimwear, our nylon/lycra fabric is delicate and should be looked after with care.  Ideally we recommend if possible just to rinse your item after use and hang up to dry.  If your item requires washing we recommend the following:
  • Rinse in cold water after use especially if you have been in a pool with chlorine
  • Hand Wash separately in cold water
  • Do not soak or Bleach
  • Use a delicate detergent - please check that no bleach is in the washing powder as this can damage your item
  • If you wash in a machine - ideally do not use the spin cycle to prevent stretching and thinning
  • Drip Dry in the Shade
  • Do not Tumble Dry
  • Some colors may fade in the sunlight and chlorinated water
  • We use the best dyes available, however we cannot guarantee complete color fastness on some fashion colors. Some shades may bleed when wet.
  • Avoid excessive amounts of sun tan lotion.  Some discoloration or "yellowing" can occur if certain sunscreens come into contact with white fabric
  • Rough surfaces can create pulls in the fabric, ideally sit on a towel
  • Avoid use in heated pools and spas
  • Dark sand can get trapped within fibres of the fabric.  This can happen with all swimwear made of similar fabrics. To remove trapped sand, gently run your fingernail along the fabric when dry
