Review : Great Suit
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.

Review : Great feel and fit
For the record, I am 5'4" and weigh 150. I am also a DD. Finding a swimsuit that keeps everything where is should be and covers what I would like to be covered is tough. I was nervous about ordering a suit online, but decided to give it a go. I looked online and got Tyr's official size chart, and I seemed to be either a size 36 or 38, so i ordered the smaller size, which was a good choice. It arrived quickly. I tried it on and was relieved that it fit, and I was more pleased to discover how comfortable it is. This suit is amazing. I feel supported, it fits like second skin, it doesn't move or ride up or bunch or cause any other swimsuit drama. I don't worry at all that something is going to fall out during a flip-turn (which has definitely happened to me in the past, even in a Speedo.) The neckline comes up high to keep both "the girls" covered. It does not leave strap lines. It also looks nice. Don't get me wrong, this is not the suit you wear to the beach to look cute...

Review : Fits perfectly, I bought my normal size,(did not size up as suggested) and it was perfect. Very flattering.
This is the best suit. Modest and comfortable with nice teal color. I am normally a size 12 in all of my clothes and last year bought a suit in size 12 so I decided not to buy a "size up" as was suggested by Magic Suit, glad I didn't. It fit perfectly and feels comfortable. I like my clothes lose fitting so maybe I just buy up normally on all of my clothes!! This will make a perfect vacation suit, now the hunt begins for a perfect cover up.

I've been searching for a long time for a swimsuit I could train and compete in that also offered a little extra support than the normal swimsuit. This one is pretty near perfect. I've already done a few lap sessions in it. It's very comfortable and holds you in place. I removed the cups (kind of find them annoying). But, other than that, this is a great product.

Review : Endurance Lite
Important to note...there is a distinguishable difference between the Endurance and the Endurance Lite that is this suit. It lacks the weight, and I fear that it will lack the durability as well. The thin strap "extreme back" also takes some getting used to...especially as the sizes run small.

Review : i wanted to love this suit, but...
This suit is very well constructed, but has an odd fit. I am roughly 145 lb and 5'7, 36/38 C. I am not particularly uneven shaped either. I ordered a size 12 US.

The bottom half fit extremely well. The ruching is not overbaring and the legs are a nice modest cut remeniscant of the old flattering 50's styles. The top, however, is another story entirely...which is weird because this is a onepiece. There was absolutely no support in the top. I think, if they added a tiny bit of side-support or shorten the straps, this suit might be wearable. But as it is, the straps are too long and boobs just fall side ways under the armpits.

If you are particularly long torso'd, this may fit well for you. It just doesn't fit me and I had to return it.

Review : Love this swimsuit
I fit into the "hate wearing a swimsuit" category and this swimsuit makes me feel more comfortable...no riding up....no riding down...covers what is should...and holds the "girls" in place. Since the straps criss-cross in the back, the straps never fall off either. The material seems to be sturdy and of good quality. I also ordered a size larger than what I typically wear in shirts and pants...knowing that I have a large bust size and the suit fit perfectly. If and when I lose more weight, I will be purchasing this one again.

Review : Fits nicely but changed color.
I bought this suit to use once a week for a 1/2 hour in a pool at my son's swimming lessons. The fit is nice and it's comfortable but after the first time I wore it the suit started to change from a navy blue to an ugly reddish purple and it continued to change. It kept the original color on the inside and by the seams so it's obvious it has changed color. I'm now looking for another suit and that frustrates me because this should have lasted longer (I purchased it in Jan and it's May now).

Review : Nice suit, but WAY too tight and low cut in the back
I'm 5'7", an athletic/curvy 150-5lbs and a 34DD up top, so I took the advice of other reviewers and sized up for extra room in the chest (got a 36, purple). However, the back was so low cut and tight that it was incredibly uncomfortable to wear, right out of the package. I don't think I could have sized up, either, since the chest area was just tight enough to hold the straps up properly. I just think the low cut back is the problem - had it been just an inch higher in the back, it would have been totally comfortable. As it was, though, I felt like I had back fat and might spill out of the back of it any second. Yuck.

On the plus side, returns were crazy easy and I was even eligible for a refund before shipping the item back (score one for the good guys). I think if you're not quite as busty on top, this might fit a little more relaxed on you and be the perfect suit for lap swimming - it's nicely lined and I wanted to love it (especially because the purple is a great...
