I'm a swim instructor/aquatic therapist. I've been wearing the basic TYR Max back Polyester suit for several years. Incredibly durable and comfortable.The stripes just make it more fun

This is a comfortable and very attractive suit.. Built to last. I teach water aerobics so it gets a beating. My last suit made out of this material gave out after 2 yrs of wear!

I swim for recreation/exercise.  As I headlined, it is a tight fitting suit that makes a person feel 'faster' in the water.  Looks good too. Many compliments when I wear it. I am 5'9" and fairly thin and this is a perfect length in a size 8.

I love all the TYR swim suits that I have purchased.  The Durafst fabric holds up well to the heavily chlorinated pool in which I swim.  I do believe that the suits run smaller than their size.  I wear a 38 and I am 5'6" tall and weigh 125 lbs.  Once I figured the sizing, I was fine.  I also like that the suit does not sit too low in the back/bottom.  This particular suit, with the line stiching, has a slimming effect as well.

I bought this suit as a lower-cost alternative to my Speedo lycra suit for working out with our masters team 3x week.  It is my first poly suit.  I've read they're supposed to fit more tightly than lycra/nylon, and that is somewhat true, but not to the degree that the suit is uncomfortable.  Compared to my other suits of the same size (Speedo splice and Dolfin Uglies, both 36), the butt is cut a little less generously on this TYR, but it is still fairly conservative. While the front of the suit is lined, the material there is pretty thin and not as high-quality as with my Dolfin suit -- so when it is cold in the pool, I'm definitely nipply!  I haven't worn it long enough to test its colorfastness, but I'm very hopeful.

I teach water aerobics and I like the smooth snug feeling as I am moving through the water.  Holds everything in place!
