Funkita Swimwear FAQs – Splash Swimwear

What is Eco C-Infinity?

Eco C-Infinity is Funkita’s exclusive polyester fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. Proudly milled in Italy, this premium material is designed to outlast traditional elastane fabrics, making it perfect for frequent pool use. It offers:

  • Outstanding chlorine resistance for long-term durability

  • Excellent elasticity and firm compression for a supportive fit

  • Soft touch and quick-drying comfort

  • High-definition colour printing for vibrant designs

  • Breathability and UPF 50+ sun protection

When cared for properly, Eco C-Infinity swimwear provides long-lasting performance for both recreational and performance swimming.

Is Funkita swimwear chlorine resistant?

Yes. Funkita swimwear is made with C-Infinity fabric, which contains no elastane (the fibre that breaks down in chlorinated water). This ensures your swimsuit maintains its shape and colour even with regular pool use.

Does Funkita offer UV protection?

Absolutely. Funkita swimwear provides UPF 50+ sun protection, blocking 97.5–98% of harmful UV rays. Wearing Funkita significantly reduces UV exposure to the skin covered by the swimsuit—perfect for long summer days by the pool or beach.

What if my size is sold out?

Funkita regularly updates its prints and styles, and most designs aren’t restocked once sold out. If you’re searching for a specific print, try Googling the print name + “Funkita” to see if other retailers still have stock. You can also contact us at Splash Swimwear, and we’ll help track down your size where possible.

Do you make maternity swimwear?

Funkita doesn’t currently offer dedicated maternity styles. However, many pregnant customers find the Sports Top, Hold Steady Top, Sports Brief, or Hipster Brief comfortable and supportive during pregnancy.

What’s the difference between the APEX Viper and Fast Legs one piece?

  • APEX Viper: Made from Nylon/Elastane with a water-repellent treatment. Provides high compression and speed benefits for racing but is less comfortable out of the water.

  • Fast Legs: Made from Eco C-Infinity polyester. More comfortable, long-lasting, and chlorine resistant, making it ideal for training rather than racing.

Do I need chlorine wash for my swimsuit?

No. Funkita recommends rinsing swimwear thoroughly in cold, fresh water after every swim. Chlorine washes and extra chemicals can actually damage fabric, prints, and trims—especially on performance suits.

What’s the difference between Girls Size 14 and Ladies Size 8?

The measurements are similar, but Ladies styles are designed for more developed bodies with additional length (+4cm), shaping for bust and hips, and differences in strap design. Always check the Funkita size chart for the best fit.

What’s the difference between Boys Size 14 and Men’s XS?

While the waist is similar, Men’s XS trunks have wider sides, larger leg openings, and more room in the front. Boys with more developed legs and muscles generally fit better in the Men’s cut.

Should I buy a performance suit?

Performance suits are designed for competitive swimming only. They are highly compressive, difficult to put on, and not suitable for daily training or extended pool use. Funkita recommends them only for swimmers competing at higher levels. For training, choose regular Funkita chlorine-resistant swimwear.

How should I care for my Funkita swimwear?

  • Rinse immediately after use in fresh water

  • Hand wash with mild detergent only

  • Dry flat in the shade (avoid direct sunlight)

  • Do not tumble dry, iron, bleach, or dry clean

  • Avoid spas, rough surfaces, sunscreens, fake tans, and oils which can cause staining or pilling

Proper care ensures your Funkita swimsuit from Splash Swimwear maintains its vibrant colour, supportive fit, and chlorine resistance for many seasons.
