TYR Lifeguard Durafast Crossfit Reviews

By Swim_Freak from Duarte, CA on 8/1/2012

I have had this suit in the water for 2 weeks for about 4 hours and still no sign of wear or tear.  Now it is 100% Polyester so it still feels snug but I bought it wanting it snug others might want to order one size up.  Polyester only relaxes a small bit it does not stretch out like regular suits.  I love this suit and I hope you do too!!

This bathingsuit felt great the first week I used it. At the begining It had a snug and comfortable fit. I especially enjoyed the nice open back which gave me a lot of freedom while swimming. However, considering that I am in the water every day for at least an hour, I did not get the results I expected. After two weeks, the bathingsuit started to loose it's natural elasticity and became too loose. The lower back became a hassle, where I would have to adjust it so it would stay in place. And last but not least, the lettering in the front started to fall apart. I guess that I was hoping for a more durable bathingsuit, with a better quality, considering the money invested in it! Overall, yes I am disappointed with the merchandise.

A little disappointed with how quickly suit got stretched out for a polyester suit.  Also metal clip in back can get hot when the sun hits it.

I am just a lifeguard 5 days a week at a country club here in town. The swimsuit is a perfect fit. Great material, and doesn't suffocate your body while sitting in the sun. It may get more stretched out as the summer goes along, but so far. My favorite swimsuit so far! Not to mention its basically an open back. I am 113lbs and 5'7 and I ordered a 34.

I wore this guard suit 5 days a week during the summer and twice a week during the school year to guard.  After wearing it for a year, the suit is still in excellent shape.  It is also one of the lowest back one-piece guard suits available.

This suit is amazing, the classic lifeguard look.  Fits very true to size, comfortable and well manufactrued. I ordered a size 34 (im 5 7 140lb) fits great. I recommend this suit for lifeguards, this is also a great brand.

Two weeks ago when I bought the suit it cut into my shoulders from being so tight. After two weeks of swimming lessons in the pool and guarding for another 4 hours my boobs are sagging in it. Besides wearing it in the warm showers, I've been following the care instructions by washing it in cold water and letting it dry over a chair. The lettering is already starting to peal as well (like every other one of their suits). On a plus not this suit has a really nice back that helps combat those stupid lifeguard tans. =D I'd recommend it since the large open back it great, but just be extra careful caring for it.

Size: Feels too small

I thought the straps seem like they are going to break and aren't very sturdy. The legs are very high up on the hip also.
