My initial reaction (and review) when I 1st received this suit a few months ago was negative. Why? Because I liked the old suit, the feel, the look I've used the past 40 years---but wow was I wrong. Recently forced to use this suit, I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent true to size fit. The fabric which initially didn't feel as silky as my old Speedy has proven quite durable and feels just fine. The black ribbon tie string that replaced the old thin white tie cord has proven to be better too. The the new tie string has a hint of stretch to it and ties tight every time. I owe Speedo designers an apology.
Finally---yes please---can we have a broader selection colors than basic black and basic blue? I may be a senior swimmer now, but I still like style. Thanks.
