The suit fits overall, however there is a band that fits above the knee opening that hurts.

This is my first tech suit, and it is hard to get into, but that seems to be true for all of them.  Felt great once it was on and I was in the water!

For any of you parents out there considering purchasing one of these high-priced technical suits, you need to be aware that per my experience and the Swimoutlet.com customer service reps, these suits only last 5-10 times. Then, since they will have more drag than a parachute, you will have yourself a high-priced boat anchor.  Fair warning.

We ordered this suit for conference championships and it ripped along the seam on the first day.  Swim outlet was great and sent another one which worked just fine for Nationals.  Customer service was great.  I would suggest having a back up  and only using swim outlet if you buy this suit.

Bought this tech suit for Juniors at Palo Alto as a replacement for the newest Hydra HD3 which was like a parachute at the bottom. The fit of the Swift II was much better for my body shape and seemed to be a good choice. Unfortunately the shoulder strap frayed after one heat and was close to ripping completely. This is not something you want to happen at an important meet, and as such I recommend against purchasing the Swift II.
For what it's worth, I was able to replace the suit at the meet with a LZR Elite and was completely satisfied (got me my first Trial cut!). Sorry Nike--team sponsor--it was an emergency and you know, this failure and other issues we have had with Nike equipment (like being able to buy a tech suit at SwimOutlet.com for less than the "exrtreme discount" offered by Nike for Junior-level swimmers) I would encourage my club to re-visit it's sponsorship selection.

It made me pop my time by 3 sec.

I order the suit on a rush delivery due to the state meet I qualified for. I didn't really know what suit was best, so I ordered one of the cheaper ones, thinking that it would be the same quality. I ordered the size i usually wear for a race suit, a 26. I tried it on and fit fine. The first day the suit was great, very tricky to get on when wet though. The second day, the suit ripped at the seam. The next day, it ripped again, not at the seem but across the torso. I don't know if this is because of sizing problems, but the material was very thin and very likely to rip.

It fits snug but not strangling. Dries quickly and is comfortable while waiting for next event.

This is a great suit! I wore it at a meet this weekend, and I dropped a ton of time! I dropped 3 seconds in my 200 free, 1 second in my 50 free, 58 seconds in my 1000 free, 2 seconds in my 400im, and 4 seconds in my 200im. I came in 1st place in my 1000, 200, and 50 frees, along with my 200im. This suit feels so good. Get a size down from your normal practice size. You feel so fast in it. Be careful putting it on, and remember, it's supposed to feel tight.

I received this suit in the mail the other day, and I tried it on. It fit great! I wouldn't recommend this suit to people with wider waists or bigger chests. Since it's bonded, not sewn, its trickier to get on, especially over the feet and calves. I But once it's on right above your knee, it's perfect! I normally wear a size 30 practice suit, so I ordered this in a size 28. Be super careful getting it on---allow yourself at least 5-10 minutes to get in it without rushing. It's a great price and feels great. I will post another comment after I wear it in a meet.
