After two seasons on swim team, my daughters complain about regular swimsuits being too baggy and wear their racing suits whenever we're at the pool. I bought this suit and one other to give them some options on our beach trip this year and they were a big success.  The girls wore them in the surf with no wardrobe malfunctions and the suits looked great even after 10 days of being in salt water every day.  They loved the strappy back on this suit and even my fashionista nine-year-old loved the print.    My girls are 7 and 9, but I ordered them both a 10/26 because of our swim team experience.  These suits definitely run snug, but once they're on they're very comfortable.
