I was hesitant to purchase online, but thought I'd try.  Sizing was accurate.  We had higher expectations on the performance based on other ratings.  My daughter wore this in two different championship meets.  Her times were no better than what she had in team suit.  Save your money.

i got this suit for my 12yr.old daughter. the suit seemed to fit well in the shoulders and body but when she bent over (starting position) it rode right up into her buttocks. the leg openings were not snug and it was baggy in the behind. everyone of her teammates who tried it on had the same experience. i have heard better things about the short -john though.

This is the second exact suit I have purchased for my daughter.  We purchased the first at the beginning of short course,  Before the end of short course she needed a new suit as it was thinned and worn and had loss of elasticity in multiple areas.  She did not use it as a practice suit ever.  I would guess that she wore it 15 to 20 sessions before it was wore out.  She wears one size smaller for competition suit than practice/drag suit and that is how we purchased this.  She wears nike practice suit size 28 and tyr competition suit 26 and she is age 15.  We never wash it in detergent.  We rinsed after use and hung by crotch to dry.  I would say at this rate, using this style suit for competition only, we will expect to purchase at least 3 per calendar year and possibly 4 unless you need to change sizes.  It is the fastest drying suit she has ever had.  She liked this suit enough for this to be our second purchase of same suit.  Prior to this suit she used the speedo competition suit and she felt it had more drag and it lasted about the same.  So, we are really buying this over the speedo for performance.

Bought for 12 year old swimming in South Texas Age Group meet. I bought 1 size smaller because told by coach to, and the suit was a squeeze, but the tight fit made for better aerodynamics... Sizing is not like the speedo fast skin - size is true to form. My daughter swam freakishly fast - 14 seconds off her 100 free time, 6 seconds off her 100 fly time. She improved dramatically in all events she swam. Hard work and the new suit??? A little concerned about how long the suit will last as I am not expecting more than one season. Shipping was immediate, received in 2 days with standard shipping to Austin, TX.

Suit feels great and fits true to size.

I want to say i'm a real person !!! my daughter is 12 and she already has fast times. she finished 9th in the nation in the 100 free last season with out this suit. she broke a 28 year record with this suit , and 5 personal best. she loves the fit ,it wont last long ! about five meets or so but its worth it. Buy the fusion 2. if you want it to last a little longer .We have this one too and its a great suit for the money.
