I love this suit. I swim several miles a week and usually blow through suits. Unlike some of the other name-brand polyester suits, this one fits well and seems to have a little more give. It does tend to run a bit small.

Review : Nice fitting suit for active gals
I ordered a large, as I am an athletic 5'8" and 160lbs. No one-pieces fit me because I have quite a long torso. Both top and bottom of this suit fit nicely. I wore it bicycling to the lake and it was supportive, breathable and comfortable. I plan to train for a triathalon next year and this suit should work out great.

Review : Perfect pregnacy suit!
This suit was the perfect solution to swimming comfortably and without continual "fit" issues as pregnancy progresses. I thought the sizing was true. It does stretch over time but if pregnant, that is a plus! The bottoms provide perfect coverage for a community pool but yet were low enough to accommodate growing baby belly. The drawstring definitely holds them up well. I am on my second suit now, post-pregnancy and love it still! I always hand wash which I think has helped prevent fading and tearing.

Review : Great lap suit
Judging by the size chart, I'd be a 34 but I sized up to a 36 because of the reviews. It fits snug but comfortably. It doesn't ride up when I'm swimming and the material is high quality. I love the high neckline. The bottom is high cut, Baywatch style. I'm not crazy about that but other than that it's a great swimsuit.

Review : Be careful about the color
We ordered the maroon version of this suit, and my wife loves it, with one caveat. Please be aware that while the color descriptor says "Deep Maroon", the picture that comes up is a brilliant candy apple red. She loved the brilliant red one in the photo, so she was very disappointed to find out that the suit really is a deep maroon. Pretty, but not what shows up in the picture when you're selecting the color and size to order. It's a shame, because I also ordered the Speedo red swim cap for her, which matches the picture, but not the actual suit.
