Ocean Moderate Lap Suit Flora Reviews

Size: Feels too small

This suit is made of a really great material that dries fairly quickly and holds up without stretching and misshaping.   I Have swum three days a week for three months in this suit and I am very happy with it.  Since  the fabric is not very stretchy, it would be good to buy up a size.   I Wear a size 10 in jeans, so I bought a size 10 suit.  I feel like a 12 probably would be a little better - especially to get out of when it is wet!

I am in the pool for aqua aerobics 4-5 times a week. This is my 5th Ocean suit. I love it. Yes, it fits tight but that prevents tugging on it in the water. You definitely need to order one size larger than normal. I would love to see more print options rather than the plain suits but I will continue to buy them. If you want a suit that lasts and lasts and lasts, try the polyester. They last me at least 3 years.

I swim and do aquasizes five days a week, and so they get well used.  Since buying my first moderate lap suit, I now have nine which I rotate on a daily basis.  This is for the moderate cut, but the conservative cut has too much outer material. which tends to float when I am working out.

Nice swimsuit.  Used for aqua-aerobics so straps stay in place.  The back seems, to me, to be a little low but that''s personal preference I think.  I also think it runs small but not enough to buy a larger size.

I go to water aerobics classes about 4 days a week. I bought this suit last March and it started feeling a bit stretched after 7 months, so I decided to order a new suit. I was delighted to find the same suit was still available in my size, so I ordered TWO new ones. The old suit still looks great, not faded at all. In fact, I still get compliments on it. So the fabric does really well with pool chemicals. I''m a 72 year old size 8 person who doesn''t need a lot of bra support.

I run the Lazy River  daily at my local health club and this suit is very comfortable.  I have purchased this brand before and even through daily use in chlorine, it will last well over 2 years.

I wear a 14 in other brands, but this one was so tight I had trouble getting it on.  No allowance for breasts, and dips very low on rear.  I''ll return this one and order one that''s tried and true.

I am a diabetic and love to swim in order to get my cardio workout.  But finding a swimsuit that will cover my size 14 body without all the cutsey v-necks and high leg lines has been difficult.  I also happen to be 60 years old and am not interested in walking up and down the beach for sport or laying in the sun for hours to tan.  This suit fits well, allows complete maneuverability in the pool and is easy to care for.

I'm a lap swimmer and have been buying Ocean suits for about 3 years. They are long lasting and fit great. I've learned to buy suits about 2 sizes bigger so that is why this fits perfectly. I wear size 10 clothes but buy my suits in size 14 for a perfect fit. Never fades and the elastic lasts a long time swimming inside and outside.

This is my second suit of this type and expect it to last as long as my first-- 9 months in an 85 degree pool for an hour 3-5 times a week.  (A typical spandex suit lasts a few weeks, esp. with a dip in the hot tub.)The color doesn't fade, there's no spandex to spring.  It finally ripped a little at a pressure point in the back.  I bought this one a size up, since polyester isn't stretchy, hoping this will last even longer.
