Answer 1

My mother taught me this trick: squirt lemon juice on the white area then lay it outside in the sun. I use the bottled lemon juice. One of my daughters had a pair of white shorts and they were put in the hamper damp, when I found them,they had a few "mildew" stains on them,I put lemon juice on the stains then put them outside in the sun and soon the stains were disappearing. You may have to do it a few times to get the desired white you want...

Answer 2

you can try letting it soak in something like oxy-clean and letting it dry out in the sun. but other than that, youre probably going to have a yellow bathing suit

Answer 3

The yellow could partially be contributed to the pool water.  Not to gross you out, but I swam year round for 5 years and I wore a white swim cap on occasion.  Needless to say it turned yellow.  I also bought a clear watch band for my watch which has also been tinted yellow.  The chemicals aren't correct in your pool I don't think....
