Fits well
By lizatiger from Rochester, ny on 11/10/2009
Size: Feels true to size

This is a study suit at a great price. It'll get me through my morning workouts.

OUCH!
By Reginana from Staten Island, NY on 10/15/2009
Size: Feels too small

This brand fits differently than speedo and other major swimsuit brands. The size that would normally fit comfortably on me with even a little room to spare is so tight and small on me that it leaves red marks on my shoulders, back, and waist. This tightness is not due to weight gain either, I have lost 20 pounds since last purchasing a training suit! There is little stretch in the suit.

This suit is terrible, not true to size at all
By Tara B. from West Chester, PA on 9/30/2009
Size: Feels too big

This suit is the worst suit I have ever bought.  The bottom fits OK, but the top is huge (and I am not flat chested).  When dry, it gaps at the sides of my chest.   I swam in this twice and both times I had to get out early because I felt like the bathing suit was floating away from my chest as the the loose fitting top got pulled away with each stroke.  Also, because of this, the lining filled with water, making this sensation even worse.  It was hard to give this a ranking size ranking since the top and the bottom felt like two different suits - one true to size andthe other too big!

Pretty good
By Sarah from Durham, NC on 9/22/2009

Good fit, thick fabric.  The material is not that stretchy, so the shoulder straps are a bit hard to get on, but hopefully that means the fabric will hold up to the chlorine well.  Good buy for the money!

Good
By Jennifer W. from Ontario, California on 8/31/2009
Size: Feels true to size

I do water aerobics and Masters swim workouts.  I would not recommend this suit to folks that are not used to competition racing suits. This suit fits very snug in the chest, especially if you are big busted like me. The bottom is very high cut, but it holds okay around the butt.

Can NOT recommend
By Aqua mom from New Jersey on 8/20/2009
Size: Feels too small

I've loved every suit I've ever bought from Swim Outlet. However, this one is poorly made. It has no elastic in the bottom seams and feels like it's riding up constantly. I'm a very thin woman, so I don't have much to "contain", which is why I cannot recommend this suit.  Polyester material is too thin.  I would rather stick with their lycra suits. Their pricing is so good, I can afford to buy more of those.

Comfortable, durable suit

My daughter swims 4 days a week on swim team. These suits hold up well to chlorine. Outgrew the last one but can still save it for my younger daughter!

Nice looking suit, but I practically flashed the guy in my lane
By Rebecca M. from Santa Monica, CA on 7/26/2009
Size: Feels too big

This is the first non-TYR suit I've had since I started lap swimming a few years ago.  I've always worn lycra blend in a size 40, but gave this a try to see if poly held up better.  Also wanted thinner straps (pesky tan lines.)  Seemed a little loose but not big on top when dry, then when I got in the water, it was a struggle to keep it on!  Water filled the inside, the sides flapped around, and I even tried tying the straps back with a hair rubberband.  Finally gave up after realizing I wasn't going to win.  I am 5'7, sort of hourglass figure D-cup, and just cannot recommend for anyone with a similar build.  Now I'm out $30 plus a hair rubberband because I tied the knot too tight.

Waterpro Piped Polyester thin strap
By Ana de la Portilla from Philadelphia, PA on 7/23/2009
Size: Feels true to size

I  swim  laps  twice  a  week  .  The  thin  straps  & high cut leg.and the material.   I would just  like  it to be  a  long  torso  suit  which  would feel  just a little  bit  more confortable  ,  the  front  top  part  could be  a  little bit  thighter  to  the body.
