    Hose it down and let it dry outside is the best I've ever done. It's kind of inevitable if you do a bunch of pool swimming.

    Chlorine will quickly ruin most suits - even the good Speedo ones - unless you wash them before they dry.

    Here are some solutions:

    Thank you for your suggestions. I washed in on delicate instead of a regular wash.

    I have a TYR brand suit. I've never washed it. Once out of the pool I hit the shower with the suit on, wash my hair in swimmers shampoo. Take it off, condition and wash with soap. Then it hangs dry in my locker. It smells like the shampoo. Not chlorine.
