6/4/2015 Runs a little large

By Anna W.

I love the pattern, fabric and design of this suit. I am glad I ordered a size smaller than I wear because it was a little big.

9/22/2015 Quality suit- run big

By Sasj

Good quality but sizing doesn't run common with other brands in sizing. We are a firm 26 and this in a 26 was 2 sizes too big.

7/13/2015 True sizeand good service. as always from Swim Outlet.

By DKW

We needed the suit for a team outfit. Suit came right on time as always and was perfect fit..

5/12/2015 Perfect

By Carol

Absolutely perfect. The material lasts as long as endurance but is super comfortable. I've had one Arena practice suit for 2 years and it still fits perfectly. Best practice suit on the market

By suits for days

Love Arena suits. Great materials, durability, and overall quality. Unfortunately the fit is a bit off on this suit for me. It fits great in the chest but the torso and butt are longer and larger on me. Compared to my other similarly-cut Arena suit of the same size, this suit is cut about an inch longer. I am short with narrow hips so this might not be a problem for others. I might have been able to size down, but I think it would have been too tight in the chest. I will still wear this suit anyway and will put up with the butt drag/but bubbles while swimming since the quality of the suit makes up for the imperfect fit. I definitely think taller girls will love this suit (note the model in the picture is almost 6 feet tall, and I'm 5 foot 4 and wear the same size she's wearing)!

1/18/2018 Kind of a fan of Arena suits

By Swim mom

The colors are great, really cute combo in this suit (Kelly green/blue). I like the way Arena suits fit and hold up! Swim 2-3 times a week about 4K yards each swim.

This is my 3rd Arena suit! Only 4 stars because I am not a big fan of the double layers in the suit. On a previous double layered suit the inside layer eventually faded and stretched a “little” differently than the outside layer. The suit was still very wearable and supportive but I just don’t like the 2 layers as much for that reason and the faded interior color just made it “seem” old and in need of replacing even tho the suit still had good support and shape in general. I also have asingle layer suit (Arena waternity) with no color fade at all and still very supportive.

Overall I find these suits hold up really well, keep their shape and support and I don’t have to buy new suits very often. I think they are a good value and well built suit. I take a 34 in a Arena suits. I am 5’4” and 145 lbs.

By Swim Mom

First time purchase for daughter's swim team. Sizing chart is very helpful. Daughter is 5'5" and we ordered size 34. Not too tight but fits like a glove.
