I've used this suit a few times a week for the past two months. Pools, lakes, ocean. Perhaps 50,000 yards so far, and the colors haven't faded at all. Just as bright and obnoxious as when it was new. I like something a little different than your standard black jammer with a colored stripe down the side. Too boring for me. these are a hoot. Quality is middle of the road. A little below speedo, but fine. the leg opening elastic is narrow- so it cuts in a little. Perhaps I'm comparing to my cycling shorts though. They're OK.

I swim five days a week and this suite lasted me about 3 weeks before it started fadeing on me.
