My wife ordered this and her comments are:The style is very attractive as it is a little higher cut than her Nike suit and makes the
legs look longer and leaves the impression of being slimmer. The back is also less restrictive than the Nike X / racerback.The
material is very thick and after swimming in lots of Chlorine the suit remains pitch black.We ordered more because we are so
pleased with it.

Decent Suit at a Great Price, September 2, 2008

I've read a lot of reviews about this product being too small for its size. It's not. It's consistent with the sizing for all of the other
Speedo competition/race suits I own. When trying to determine a size for your swimsuit, I would recommend using your bra size as
a baseline. If you're an A cup or on the smaller end of a B cup, you'll probably be fine with your standard size. If you're larger than
that, you'll need to adjust upwards accordingly - I'd venture to say a size per cup. The fit is on the tighter side but you don't want a
swimsuit to fit loosely, since water drag isn't fun when you're swimming! My one complaint with the fit is that there's a seam on the
back that sometimes tends to ride up into a slight wedgie - it doesn't happen while I'm swimming but it does when I walk around.The
material isn't as smooth feeling as other Speedo swimsuits, but it's durable enough. I swim three times a week in a chlorinated gym
pool, rinse my swimsuit out with clean (non-chlorinated) water after every swim, and wash it once a week in Woollite. It's held up
well for two months now with no problems. There comes a point in every swimsuit's life where it becomes threadbare due to
chlorine damage, so being able to find a decent swimsuit for such a cheap price is a lifesaver.

A fitting guide for those unsure (at the bottom), October 31, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Alright, I went out on a limb when I bought this because, let's be realistic: one cannot hope to find a bathing suit at the end of the
October for a good price.
Enter: Amazon.
I just got this bathing suit last week, and I have to say it is great.
I am a 'more-than-average swimmer', I go swimming 3-4 times a week, even during the winter months (I swim in an indoor
pool...).Pros --1.
Very happy with the slimming of this new bathing suit as compared to my worn and stretched-out version (and also 'see-thru' spots
where the chlorine got to it).
It slims down the body very well and makes the legs look lengthy (something I need since I have short legs)2.
Since I swim in an indoor pool, it is, of course, a public pool with a high chlorine content.
I chose to go with Blue instead of Black (because black, it seems to me, is more easily able to see the chlorine effects after a period
of time), and so far the fabric seems to be holding up just fine against the outrageous chlorine content of the public pool.3.
I didn't buy this suit for style: I bought it because I needed something that I could wear 4 times a week at the gym.
If you are looking for something stylish (and possibly low-cut), look elsewhere.
But I needed a bathing suit that wouldn't 'ride down' when I was swimming, and this one is high-cut, which is just what I need to
keep the ladies in place while I swim.Cons --1. Amazon is usually very fast with their shipping.
I don't know if it is the time of year and I'm buying a stupid bathing suit or what, but the shipping this time was about 7-8 days,

3. where usually it is about 3-4 days.
If you need one quickly and it is during the 'not normal time' to buy a bathing suit in your corner of the universe, then I would go
with the 1-2 day shipping or get it somewhere else.2. Sizing.
Oh boy.
Let me just say this: if you are "pear-shaped", go with one size up from your cup size.
I bought a 36 but I'm having a hard time getting my ass into it, next time I think I will go with the 38 and see how that turns
out.SIZING TIPS------------------Of course, anything can help at this point, right?
When you click on the "Sizing Chart", it gives you a sizing chart for Amazon.com, and NOT for Speedo.
Don't even bother going to the Speedo website (unless you live outside the US, I mean), because it gives the whole sizing chart in
centimeters, ugh.
Speedo sizing chart can be found here:Amazon doesn't let me post the website but it is Dick's Sporting Goods store, go to google
and type in this (leave out the quotes):"dicks womens bathing suit sizing chart"Start with your bra size as a baseline, and adjust up or
down depending on your waistline (or butt-line, in my
case).======================================================================UPDATE 7/1/2010 - First:
Thanks everyone for the 'helpful' votes!
Didn't realize buying a bathing suit online was so popular!
Second: I have been using this bathing suit, as I said in my review, 3-4 times a week at the gym.
It it just now starting to show signs of 'stretching' in certain places, but I stand by my review I made back in October: get this bathing
suit!
Although in my review it says to order 'one size up', I think I am going to order a 36 again, because it does stretch (eventually)
around the butt-area after a few uses.
I actually logged in to buy another suit, and imagine my surprise when I came to this page: the review I made a year ago is at the
top!
Thanks for the votes!
:)======================================================================UPDATE 6/17/2011 - I should
really visit Amazon more often, thanks for the upvotes, everyone! :)
Since I posted this review a few years ago, I have bought approximately 4 bathing suits (same suit, Speedo) from Amazon.
The first two I stretched out from swimming in a public swimming pool (as stated above).
I used one blue one and one black one.
The black one, it seemed to me, was more easily able to 'stretch out' after only a few months' worth of using.
Just an FYI, but I would definitely use this suit as a backup and/or for swimming on a more regular basis at the gym
-======================================================================LAST AND FINAL UPDATE
1/21/2013 - WOW. Speedo should be wondering what all the fuss is about over their bathing suit.
When I first wrote this, there was zero help online for fitting guides for bathing suits, and this bathing suit had one or two reviews.
Now with over 250 reviews, I think I should write a letter to Speedo and ask them for a free suit, for all these new customers that I
potentially brought in!
As for the bathing suit: I don't go swimming anymore at the gym.
The last one I bought, back in June of 2012, works great as a back-up bathing suit when I go to the beach, and sometimes I wear it as
my regular bathing...
