Great suit but lasted a year
By Ellen L. from Seattle, WA on 12/16/2020
Fit: TRUE
This has been my favorite swimsuit. I love the thin fabric, lack of lining and cut; it feels great to swim in. I estimate I've worn it less than 50 times and don't know how long it's meant to last. The fabric has worn very thin in areas even though the pool is saltwater, which I thought would be easier on the fabric.

Good meet suit
By Swim13 from Ohio on 6/19/2020
Fit: NA
Got this on sale. Plan to wear for prelims at prelims/ finals meets. Size chart said size 22 I went with 24 because that's what was available at lowest price and reviews said it runs small. 24 was perfect fit for me.

The best and only suit my swimmer wears
By GoLions from Sacramento, CA on 3/14/2020
Fit: NA
We have been buying the Aquablade for my daughter for 6 years. It is the best suit out there.
Improvements over the years[OPENBRK]i.e.inner lining[CLOSEBRK] have only made it better.
Tight fitting. Great range of motion without chafing.
Colors don’t fade.

Very satisfied
By Amy M. from Sparks, NV on 3/10/2020
Fit: NA
My daughter wore this suit in her first short course championship meet last weekend. She loved it and dropped time in every event. Now we all new suits don’t swim, swimmers do, but I think mentally it helped..

Good suit; tacky logo
By RLC from Montana on 2/21/2020
Fit: TRUE
Purchased this for my daughter's state swim meet. The suit seemed to perform well but, as intended, very snug (read - takes 10 minutes to get it on!). I thought the big QR code logo on her backside was pretty tacky and obnoxious (I didn't notice this presented in any of the pictures) and by the first day of wear, it was already starting to peel off. Not what I would have expected for 1 day of wear for a suit that is NOT cheap. Please, we can do without that big white tacky code on a black suit.

Excellent fit
By Swim Mom from USA on 1/5/2020
Fit: NA
Bought 1 size down from regular practice suit, bought size 24 for a 10 year old, 5 feet tall, weight 80 lbs. It is just a tiny bit large for her, so maybe size 22 would be even better. Excellent quality fabric, she likes how it feels.

Pretty good
By Christine from Delaware on 12/17/2019
Fit: NA
The quality of suit is great. This suit is for my daughter. Her only slightly negative comment was a bit of drag from the chest area. The fit is so good everywhere else going down a size may not have been solutions. That being said she has worn this suit again and will wear more even though she has others.

Great Fit
By Elizabeth from IL on 12/16/2019
Fit: TRUE
We have bought this suit three times. It fits long and covers the bottom well. It also has a nice texture which allows my diver to feel relaxed in her suit while flipping around.

It's a pretty good suit...
By Misty from Michigan on 12/16/2019
Fit: NA
This will be an approved suit for the 12u's once the ban starts next year. It is not woven fabric and has sewn seams. Plus it is cute and has a knee length version too. [OPENBRK]Mine just prefers traditional.[CLOSEBRK]
We had to go through 3 sizes to find the right one. And the straps are still a little extra tight. We bought her usual racing suit size 22, and she could get it on but wanted to cry and couldn't move. The 24 was better, but still tighter in the steaps. However the 26 fit her great in the straps, but was loose in the bottom area. We opted for the 24.
I also bought this suit for my older [OPENBRK]16[CLOSEBRK] daughter and she wore her racing suit size of a 30.
Both girls were in between sizes based on measurements.

Best swim suit
By KathleenD from Richmond, Va on 12/14/2019
Fit: NA
I love the way I just slip thru the water in this suit. Also the compressive fit helps hold core connection while swimming fast. This is the best swim suit I have ever worn and I am 70. I have been training and racing in this suit for 5 years since it first came out. I love the athletic look. I wear the black one.

Solid fit
By Abby’s Mom from Atlanta, GA on 11/24/2019
Fit: NA
Several do the girls from our swim team were sporting this suit last meet. My disghter’s Aqua blade has finally disintegrated and we needed a new “meet” suit. After talking to a few parents and their swimmers we decided to give the Fusion a try. It arrived in good shape and timely and fits like a glove. We opted to go one size smaller than her practice suit which is still comfortable but difficult to get on. She loves the high chest! We are looking forward to trying it out in the pool in two weeks!

Great print
By Lisa H from Ohio on 10/30/2019
Fit: NA
I’m a 5’6” 140#, middle age weekly swimmer. I ordered a 36. True to size, flattering in the front but if you’re abs aren’t great, the back cut looks terrible. Thin yet slick material. Due to back and thin material, I returned

Dropped time with this suit
By RG from Missouri on 10/27/2019
Fit: NA
I’ve swam two meets with this suit and it is holding up great! I went a size down from my regular practice suit size and it still fits good. I probably could have gone two sizes down. I dropped time in in all events except 1, I don’t know if it’s the suit or me but I’m overall happy with it. As long as it holds up throughout the season, I will buy again!

Great meet suit!
By Mary E. from Jacksonville, FL on 10/15/2019
Fit: NA
My daughter is 10, about 4’10” and 85 pounds. She needed a suit for meets for age groupers. She loved the pattern of this suit-it is super cute, and every suit is different, some with more green than pink, but all cute. I ordered 26 and 28, being confused even after calling swim outlet for help. She wears 28 in training suit and 28 fits her in this [OPENBRK]prob not as tight as a tech suit should, but comfy![CLOSEBRK] I was nervous it might be too big once she got in the water, but it fit great..had a great meet last weekend and loved the suit!!

3 Years Wearing Same Style
By Lynn from Durham, NC on 10/11/2019
Fit: TRUE
My daughter has been wearing the Speedo Aquablade at meets for 3 years now - different sizes of course. Each year the same expected fit and performance. We usually notice signs of wearing towards the end of the season - about the last meet, maybe 2. This suit is a good pre-tech suit.

Not for competition
By Kimberly from Southern California on 10/9/2019
Fit: NA
I bought this for a U.S. Master's competition because I didnt feel like spending 30 minutes getting into a knee skin. I personally would NOT consider this a tech or competitive suit. It is extremely painfully thin. So yes, it does not drag the way a regular lined polyester practice suit does. BUT it has zero support or compression, which is what a real tech suit should have. In my opinion this would be a good entry level suit for a kid or young age group are that is just beginning competition. But for any serious competitor, I would never recommend this in a race. Save your money, get a real Tech suit.

Great suit for those not wanting a kneeskin
By Linda B. from Greensboro, GA on 8/29/2019
Fit: NA
This is a great suit for anyone not wanting a kneeskin. I am a 65 year old masters swimmer, back in the water for about two years after a 30 year hiatus. I have so far been unable to find a kneeskin that fits. (I’m 5’1” and 120 lb.).
I got this suit for summer nationals, and did post-1989 best times in all five events in which I wore it. I consider this a great success.
The suit is easy to get on (for a tech suit). This matters to me, because I don’t need to exhaust myself with the suit getting on marathon before an event.
One drawback to the suit is mentioned in prior reviews, but I found a work around that is effective for me. When I first get into the water with this suit, there is a huge air bubble in the front, which creates a ton of drag. However, once the suit was wet, I pulled up the top of the front as far as possible, I pulled around the sides of the top of the suit as far as possible, and I pulled down the back cross strap as far as possible. In other words, I pulled to make the top of the suit as close fitting and high and air free as possible. These adjustments worked for me in five out of five races.
No matter how I pulled the top of the suit when I was dry, I would get the air bubble effect. But if I did these adjustments after getting myself and the suit wet, I was able to avoid the air bubble.
Hope this detail helps others!

Great tech suit
By np from Ohio on 8/7/2019
Fit: TRUE
I bought this for my 14 y/o daughter. Snug fit, comfortable swimsuit and she loves it. She has larger chest and usually has to keep adjusting on other suits. This one holds everything together and she does not have to worry about spills or too much cleavage showing. I will buy again this brand.

The suit is lined
By Nympha S. from Fort Lauderdale, FL on 3/14/2019
Fit: TRUE
This is our second aqua blade, for my younger daughter. The first, in navy size 26 came unlined, as I thought all of them are. This last one in electric purple size 18 is lined. It is markedly thicker than the unlined one, but we don’t have time to return as we need it tomorrow. I’m not sure if we were given the wrong suit or speedo changed the design.

Great suit for serious recreational swimmers
By Avid Swimmer for 35 years from FALLS CHURCH, VA on 2/21/2019
Fit: TRUE
I''ve been swimming laps for exercise for many years and over the last five years have switched to TYR from Speedo, as I think they provide better coverage all over. The material on the Fusion suit is excellent: great compression and a smooth fit. Whatever the new technology is behind the suit, it''s top-notch.

Great suit, No FINA tag
By Mom from Michigan on 1/24/2019
Fit: TRUE
My daughter loves this suit, she did cut time. Time will tell how it holds up. I was disappointed that while it says FINA approved, it does not have a label so she will be unable to use it at larger meets during the HS season because it will not match her school’s suit and doesn’t have a label.
