Answer 1

The technique is called "hand washing."  Most swimsuits don't need deep washing.  You just need to get the chlorine, or salt/sand off of the fabric.  Fill a sink with enough water to cover the suit, adding a drop or two of dish-washing detergent.  Turn the suit inside out (especially one with raised design) , and submerse it.  Gently agitate the suit in the water to dislodge any solids.  After a minute, drain the wash water, squeezing out the swim suit.  Refill the sink with plain water, and agitate to remove soap residue.  Drain, squeeze, and rerinse the suit one more time.  Then hang to drip, or lay flat on a towel to dry.  Avoid machine drying as that subjects the item to similar stresses as machine washing.

Answer 2

cold water!

Wash it by hand in Woolite or another mild soap.  You could do it in the washer on delicate cycle too.  Be sure to wash it out every time you go to a chlorinated pool, otherwist the color will fade.  The chlorine that is in the pool water is the same as what you use in your laundry.
