Royal color tends to fade quickly. Bought black this time and will see what happens.

I use this suit for lap swimming and I think it is great.  Because the fabric is so thin, it dries very fast.  Also, it fits very well.  Initially, I thought the suits ran small, but I'm rethinking that - they just are tighter than average.  So, while I would recommend this suit to swimmers who are in pretty good shape (i.e., thin), I'm not sure how well it would work for those who are a few pounds overweight.  

I don't use the suit in competition and so I cannot comment on how "fast" it is.  But, if you are looking for a "daily driver" suit that is easy and convenient, then I can definitely recommend this one.

This thing is perfect. I only had a little bit of money to get a suit so i bought this one. And out of all the speedos i have worn in the past(other than bodyskins) this is my favorite, i will probably continue buying these.
