I was expecting the swimsuit to be a deep navy blue, but instead it is actually black.  I used it to go swimming when I was pregnant, and was glad to have something to wear to the pool.  I swim 12-20 laps in each session, and find that the pants tend to catch water, causing the elastic to scroll down a couple inches whenever I kick off from the sides.  The top also catches water and balloons when I get in the water.  This is more a swimsuit for lounging by the pool or at the beach, than for more serious swimming.
