About the technology

Cutting-edge LYCRA® FitSense™ technology is applied in liquid form and screen-printed in patterns (either clear or in eye-catching colors) onto swimwear made with LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, for a combination of functionality and style. The innovative technology provides OLYMPIA®’s new range with lightweight, targeted shaping zones and eliminates the need for bulky, restrictive sewn-in panels or extra seams that can often also be slow to dry.

Additionally, the use of LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber increases the lifespan of the swimwear, due to its proven resistance to degradation from chlorinated water, heat and sunscreen.
