I bought this in my usual size for workouts several times a week and it is working out well so far. The "grape Ice" is just purple, even though it looks just like navy in the picture.
Great for meets.
Very comfortable to train in. Love this suit... highly recommend.
Long lasting suit for work outs
It's hard for me to give an overall rating, as I love most of the suit, but just not the top. The single layer (no inside layer), thin straps and thin seams make it a "light" suit that feels like you are barely wearing anything (nice to practice in). However, the top just isn't cut for larger chested women (I ordered a 38 and wear a 38C bra). The low cut top scoops the water in, and it empties out on the sides, moving the seams farther in than I am comfortable revealing. I am constantly adjusting the top, trying to pull it up higher to eliminate the cleavage space. I'm surprised that Nike hasn't made a "full-chested" suit line that is exactly the same as the ones they have, but has a little more material up top and on the sides.
I recently started Master's swimming after a 3 year hiatus after college. I'm a die-hard Speedo customer, but seeing other women wearing this cute suit swayed me to try Nike again. In high school, Nike suits I've tried always wore out too quickly and were sized too strangely. This suit, however, is very complimentary for my figure and gives me the full range of motion I desire when I swim butterfly. Something to consider: I'm very flat-chested (A-cup) so the super cutout back isn't an issue, but bigger women might not get the support they need.I'm also 5'7", 135 lbs with a boxy long torso and a size 32 (training) or 30 (racing) in Speedo. I bought this Nike suit in a 28, but it's still a little loose. I think the reason is because the material is very stretchy, so size down when you order. I've also seen some comments about not having enough coverage on the bottom, but I didn't find that an issue, and I don't have a tiny posterior either.
I swim for exercise 1800m to 2100m a few days a week and dreaded having to get in and out of my Speedo. This swimsuit is easy to get in and out of even when wet and is very comfortable. Another advantage is that you barely get strap marks on your back, which is very important when swimming in an outdoor pool. Definitely do size down it runs a little bigger. I love it- cute and classy.
Love this suit~ it is my favorite. I swim outside year round (Living in Fort Lauderdale) and it gives me the best tan, almost no tan lines. It also lasts pretty long being 100% polyester. Would like more colors and patterns
very comfortable, and the polyester makes it durable. the best swimsuit ive ever owned (i have been swimming competitively for 13 years)
It's a little loose, I bought a larger size because of it being a polyester...but it ended up being looser than expected
