I wear the skort for Aquatic Physical Therapy 5 days a week for at least 90 minutes. Due to the skirt starting the flair down at the hip it doesn't get in my way. I do not need to tuck the skirt (into the panty) as I have all others I've worn over the years. The split is Fantastic because the skirt does stay down as opposed to floating. I like that it is Shorts as opposed to a Panty underneath. I never have to pull the back down as I'm leaving the pool. It has proven to be very chlorine resistant, no fading or thinning of the material. I Did have to reorder one size smaller as I found the recommended size much too big. The one problem I find is that it takes a Very Long time to dry. It is lined, which is Great, however, it takes about a full day and 1/2 to fully dry. As I am in the pool 5 days a week I am putting on a damp skirt Tues-Fri. That is following the care directions, Not putting it in a dryer. I expect this will last me a long time.
