I wear this suit twice a week for lap swimming, about 1 hr. each time. It has held its color and shape, I rinse it well and hang it inside to dry.

I''ve been wearing a Lands End 16L but they stopped making my preferred style, so I searched long and hard for a substitute. I bought your product in an 18L as a trial. It fits, but I fear that it''s so plain and under-supported that it won''t hide my tummy as well as my previous bathing suits. I''ll give it a try. I wish it had some adornment or patterning to do the hiding task. Not all lap swimmers are skinny youths. I''m almost 73 and am one cell into the overweight category on the BMI charts. So I need that camouflage.

This is a great quality suit and the blue is very bright and beautiful. However, the legs are a more conservative cut and not  a typical leg cut, which is a bit uncomfortable. I feel like I am wearing an old-fashioned suit for the lower part of my body.

This is my second purchase of this swimsuit. I bought it in navy for my water aerobics class. I needed a suit that would stay in place and be easy to move in. It was perfect. I ordered a 14 long because I am 5''10" and needed the extra length. It is hard to find a suit that fits well and looks modern without exposing too much at the top or bottom. When I saw the suit on sale I bought the teal colored one. The color is beautiful and the fit is perfect, just like the first. I have no complaints about this swimsuit. So far it seems very durable too. No fading, stretching, shrinking or stiffening. It''s a very good value.

As a lap swimmer,I always buy this suit because of the quality, the fit, and the price at SwimOutlet.com. However, the last two suits I''ve gotten-one in navy and one in black-have faded early. The navy faded on the outside and the black, which I am using now, is fading in big spots on the inside. I decded to give it one more try and ordered my next one to be ready when this one is too far gone. If it fades that way too, I''ll be trying other brands.

This suit is a standard that I always go to.  I take a 12L and when I get back into regular exercise I re-order in a 10L.  I have tried otherr bathing suits, but Speedo is the top of the line for me.  I want a no nonsense bathing suit that stays put both in the water or out and always runs true to size.  While the color does eventually fade because of  chlorine exposure, it gives me better service than any other brand.   The sizing for a '' long'' makes a perfect fit.  The Speedo brand has been around for a long time and I feel confident they are working to keep the standards up and hopefully they willl come up with a suit that is even more resistant to the chlorinated water.
