I'm a 60 year old lap swimmer, and this suit not only makes me feel as though I'm cutting through the water, it makes my body look better than it would in a regular tank suit. (Can't beat that!) My only complaint is that it's a little tight across the shoulders, but even that doesn't impede my abiltiy to swim a mile or more at a time. Be sure to wash it after every wearing in cold water on delicate cycle. (Using a detergent formulated for baby clothes has kept the other suit like this I've had for over three years in great condition.)
My daughter loves her new swimsuit! We had to exchange our original purchase because her regular size was way too tight and uncomfortable. When she received the suit one size up, she said it was much more comfortable. I realize they need to be tight, but the first one was almost unbearable! She actually decreased her time at the first swim meet! Thanks for a nice-looking, durable swimsuit.
