Ocean Conservative Chelsea Lap Suit Reviews

Size: Feels too small

I participate in an aqua aerobics class, so I need a suit that fits well and stands up to chlorine.  This suit does both.  I love this brand for its quality.  However, the print suit runs a size smaller than the solid color of the same style.  Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.

For the price the suit is nice.

Love the green and the coverage is good.  I think the sizing is true.
The straps are difficult to maneuver getting the suit on.  If an adjustment were made here, it would be five stars.

I use this suit for lap swimming.  Color/pattern was fun for St. Patty''s day.  I have bought many Ocean polyester suits--they last forever, excellent quality .  Although I have many Ocean suits in this size, this one is tighter in the top--but still works.

Love the lining front and BACK.  Conservative on leg openings just like I wanted.  Swim at the YMCA 2-3 times per week.  Am anxious to see how long the color and stretch will hold up.  Would definately order again.

Size: Feels too big

I bought this suit for swimming laps in a Y pool. I have had very good luck with previous Ocean swimsuits with respect to chlorine resistence and sizing. Following the advice of another customer who said she always orders a size up, I did just that. The suit that arrived appeared to be of good quality but I did not like the print. It did not seem as bright or young as the pictures  (I ordered the magenta). The suit was too big on the top and the wide shoulder straps made it look a little matronly. The leg openings were too wide. I suspect I should have ordered my true size but will not do that because of the print. I am returning the suit.

I really liked the appearance of this suit - it is attractive and well made and a good style for a water aerobics class.  However, because of the style of the upper back straps, it was nearly impossible for me to put on - or take off.  For younger women, or even older women who don''t suffer from arthritic shoulders, this is a wonderful suit!  For those, like myself, whose shoulder | arm flexibility is somewhat impaired, it would be a real pain to use on a regular basis.  Sadly, I returned the suit for this reason.

This was for my daughters swimming lessons and she needed a suit right away.  It arrived when promised.  She is a size 16 so I was concerned about the overall fit, but it is really well made and there isn''t any bagging or pulling and she is able to move comfortably.  I will continue to order suits from Swim Outlet

I have bought this model suit before (maybe 5-6 suits) for aqua aerobics, and they have all been fantastic.  They last WAY longer than most suits (more than a year with 2x week chlorine use) - I love them.  However my most recent suit was sized smaller on top than before (and I have LOST weight) - it''s tighter through the chest (shelf bra) and straps.  Otherwise, I LOVE these suits.

I purchsed one of these 2 years ago and thought it time to maybe buy a new one.  Usually my suits are stretched out and embarrasing after only a year.  I did note the new one was seeming stronger and stretchier that the 2 year old one, but apparently the chloroban material is great for durability.  It''s nice to have a suit where I can swim and not worry about my suit.
