This cut is not for everyone but other than this, it is fully functional for practice and so far, has proven to be durable in chlorine. The neckline is definitely lower than the standard cut,  so might work better for those who are lean/broad in the chest/upper torso. The cut exposes both sides of your waist but definitely not all the way to your stomach like an unfunctional fashion swimsuit. (If you have a fuller figure around the waist and stomach area however, it will be a risky purchase.)

When I saw this at the swim store I just had to get it! But later when I tried it on at home, I found that the cut of this suit is TERRIBLE! The sides cut up onto the stomach, its so revealing! Not good for practice when its not comfortable.
