i use mine as a drag suit and it works great i got a bigger size to help with the drag. i think its an amazing suit. You never can go wrong with a speedo though

You just can not go wrong when it comes to purchasing a speedo bathing suite. If you are hesitant...dont be!!

At age 37, I am just learning to swim and although I'm very athletic, I'm not confident about my body so I was willing to pay more just so I felt good out infront of people.  I'm 5 4'  143 lbs and the size 38 was a good choice.  This suit fits great! It doesn't have a high bikini line so my hips are not hanging out and it has 2 layers so I feel like it is supportive in the belly and breast area.  As for the price, I felt it was the best one out there to compliment my body style at a reasonable price.  I'm only swimming 2 days a week, training for a Triathlon.  I think I made a good choice with this suit & would buy another one in a heartbeat.
