Use the suit in water exercise and lap swilling.  The fabric feels good.

the suit is great except for the maker forgetting that women who are large in the bottom may also be large up top. The top doesn't have enough room to cover the chest and the straps aren't taut enough to pull the chest up, such that it hangs down droopy, making the suit non-eligible for swimming, as the force of ANY water pulls it further down.
Do i send it back? do i use it to SIT in a pool? do I have to spend money and get it altered? it's aleady a $70 plus suit!

I am using this swimsuit to lap swim and do water aerobics 3 x's a week.  The suit was true to size.  The problem I have is that it is cut so low that with the padding and my 44" bustline the suit drags lower.  I find myself tugging at it to be sure I don't expose myself too much.  I have been using it about a month now and haven't had any other issues with it.

I haven't had this type of fabric before and suspect it will wear well but it does feel coarse to the touch.  

I wouldn't purchase this particular suit again.

I swim daily and have always worn Speedo suits.  The sizing chart was specific and I followed it, yet the size I purchased is too big.  The rating I gave it reflects the disappointment with the sizing.

This suit felt way too small and the bust line was way too low for me to feel comfortable using it as a work out suit.

If you have a large bust size forget it. The suit drags when swimming laps and I felt as if I were going to fall out. I had to wear a sports bra under it when I swam. It doesn't feel long enough. I would not recommend and would not buy again!
