Good for lap swimming.

Size: Feels too big

I am a daily lap swimmer.  I love the feel of the fabric, but the top of the suit is too big and too low.   Since I have used it and can''t return it, I will have to have some alterations made to the top so I feel secure in the water.   This wasn''t evident until it was wet.

I've recently started water walking to lose weight and was having a hard time finding a swim suite to fit.  Speedo Women's Plus Sized fit perfect and performs in water well. Stays put and looks good.  Strap configuration "Ultraback" keeps suit in place, no strap slipping, don't worry about what the suit will do once in the water. It stays put. Back and straps come up high on back to cover the stuff I don't want seen, completely covers underarm and around the back up higher than most suits. Fits exactly as measurements. Front is a double layer with a very soft shelf bra that covers well and doesn't look stiff, natural look to it.  Because it is double in front and has the shelf bra, it is hard to wring out dry.  I'm having to put it in the washer spin cycle to get it dry.  A minor complaint when the suit is so great.

I wouldn't be swimming if not for this suit!  Thanks Speedo!

This suit fits fine, but after swimming in it for about 2 months, the material on the backside completely disintegrates so that you can actually see through it as if it is opaque.  Not happy about this.  Bought another one to see if it was a one off, but the same thing happened.  Very disappointed in Speedo.  Why are they using a fabric that does not hold up well in a pool.  This is an athletic swimsuit, not a sunbathing swimsuit.

Finally a suit that fits and stays put with all of the moving around during water aerobics.  Lightweight, easy to rinse out & dries fast.  I am ordering another one soon.

This is my second Speedo suit in the past 8-9 months. The first one lost all of it's color and stretched out 4 inches compared to my new one. I hope this suit doesn't do the same. I swim three times per week so the suit gets a lot of use. I love Speedo suits. They fit well, the color is great and the shoulder straps are very comfortable.

I needed a basic suit for the gym.  This does the job.

This suit was too large in the bust.  For most women who are larger in the hips but a bit smaller in the bust, then this suit is NOT for you.  I kept it because I was desperate for a swimsuit, but I returned the second one.  Now I am trying to figure out a way to take up the straps so that I don't have to worry about my boobs falling out when I lap swim.

Ordered -Shipped 02/07/12(Thurs.) received Monday-  Very good.   But it is only 02/26/12 and the color is very silverery.  Faded!!  Not black anymore, only in spots.  I swim in an exercise program 5 days a week at the YMCA in Spirit Lake, Iowa.  for about 1 hour.  I do sit in the Hot tub my allowed 10 min. each morning before swimming.  Because of my hip surgery these are suggested from my Dr.  I like the cut.  I had a Speedo previously, I wore it about 2 years with good color.  However, the stitching threads had to be replaced.  It was the one with the colored strips up the sides.  I was hoping this one would do as well.   Good fit and all except for color.
