It was way too small.  I could not even get it on.  I will return in and try to get a different size.  I usually wear a size 6 or 8.  I got an 8 and it seemed about 2 sizes too small.

I teach swim lessons at the YMCA and swim laps weekly.  Before finding this suit, I would go through a swimsuit within a matter of months because of all the hours in the chlorine.  I've had this suit for 1 and 1/2 years and it looks as good as the day I first bought (with no care on my part).  My only problem is that I've lost 30 lbs and need a smaller size....but I'm definitely buying this exact suit again.

This suit has held up better than any suit I have bought. Have used it regularly for 4 months and still fits like new. It seems a little smaller for the size when you get it on, but once in the water, it feels great. The texture is not a sleek as lycra, but the durability of this fabric along with it's quick drying time is a definite plus. I love the higher cut neckline...very flattering for all body types. The price is a little higher than what I would like to pay, but I think in the long run, it's going to be a good value.

Fabric is stiff and itchy.  Design is skimpy--great if you want to show off the tatoo on your lower back.  Might as well swim naked.

I swim for an hour a day and have had suits that lasted only 3 months (Nike) and 5 months (a Land's End that they now only make with soft cup bra which I don't like). The first one I got of these kept its shape and stretch for 8 months and is still wearable, though a bit floppy -- since I've lost a fair amount of weight since I started wearing it. The second one has been in the rotation for about 4 months and is still like new. The fabric may seem stiff and scratchy before you get in the water, but I'm not sitting at poolside in it -- I wear it for the workout. And it dries VERY quickly -- I bought two originally because I was used to nylon suits that might not dry completely between swims, but these are dry in less than 24 hours. The only drawback to the fabric is that the water drains out so quickly that you end up standing in what can look like an embarrassing amount of moisture!

This suit is perfect for the frequent swimmer.  The slightly stiffer fabric holds you together in the water allowing less drag.  It will also weather many many months of pool use with no visible wear.  Threads do not pull out or stretch out like lycra.  Best suit I've ever worn.
