I swim on average two hours a day four days a week during the school year, and this is my favorite practice suit. I wear size 26-28 for most suits, and I got a 26. It felt a teensy bit small the first few times, especially in the shoulders, but fits perfectly now after wearing it every practice for four months. Only downer is it fades quickly. The lining went from royal blue to faded purple in around two months. It's faded especially around the underside of my chest area and on my stomach, but it doesn't show anything. I love this suit, and I wear it for more than just practices, and all in all it's held up pretty well. I get tons of compliments, and I'm known among other teams as the "crazy suit girl". Well worth the money.

Swimming on occasion. Suit straps fit great, the back comes up a little high for my liking, but it fits overall fine. It also gets lots of compliments.

this suit ran big, we could have used a 32.

I've gotten a ton of compliments on this suit. It's fun to wear and feels comfortable.

I love the look of this suit! It's eye-catching in and out of the water. However, the 28 is cut too high on the thighs for me (I have to wear it above my hipbones) and the elastic digs in a little. A little tight, but worth it after a couple of workouts and tons of compliments!

WAY TOO BIG - 2 sizes?  I dont even want to try ordering again for fear of having to again send it back - it's that far off.  too bad - its really cute.  doesn't do me much good if I can't wear it or have to spend weeks getting the size right trial and error by mail.
