I have several medical conditions requiring aqua therapy, and am in the pool M-F, week-ends in the summer. The first Endurance suit I had lasted 3 years, of use at least twice/week. I just bought a second one. A plus is that if you are a lumpectomy/mastectomy patient, this suit can be adapted for use because of the way the bra is build in to it. A lady from a shop that caries them spoke to my breast cancer group and was very clear on that point. I feel comfortable in this suit and it works great for the classes.

I really wish this suit would have worked. Unfortunately, I pretty much gave the gym a show because the top was so big on me. I even tied it up with a strap from my extra swim goggles. So if you are plus size, but have a small chest this is NOT the suit for you. Too bad I can't send a worn bathing suit back. Lesson learned.
Comments about Moderate Ultraback Plus Size - Speedo® Endurance+:
I bought this suit to swim laps for exercise. The back and bottom coverage is great for a plus-sized girl, who is not extremely comfortable flaunting her stuff in a swimsuit! Just concerned with the overall fit of the suit. Going back, I would have ordered a size down (note: I am a solid, hardly EVER swaying, size 22.) but I was worried about the suit being too tight on my shoulders. I have a long torso so a concern I have always had with swimsuits is the length. I never thought I would have to worry about my "ladies" falling out over the top while I swam laps! Overall I would recommend this suit to others, but you may want to size down!

I use this suit in a school pool...you can imagine the high chlorine levels. This suit will fade like others but it still will last me a year using it 3 times a week. The polyester is the key. I'm 38DD so I've learned to buy this suit 2 sizes larger than the chart and take the leg/hip in up the side for the perfect fit.

I do water aerobics at least 2-3 times per week. The ultraback design is very comfortable but the fabric is the star of this show. I have worn Speedo plus size swimsuits for this exercise for the past 12 years. they wear out in 4 - 6 months. If this one lasts twice as long it will be well worth it. And it is more comfortalbe than my old suit, lighter, more flexible and dries faster. Seems to be a new fabric for the chlorine resistant model than the one I purchased 5 yrs ago which was short, stiff and uncomfortable. Love this suit.

This product was way too big in the bust area. The bottom fit well but the top was really big and gave no support. I returned it and got the Side Shirred Tank Plus Size - Speedo Endurance+.

I've lost weight so that I can finally fit into a Speedo again after many years of wearing crummy plus-size suits.
I love this suit except for one thing: the bust fit. I'm a D-cup (by volume, not by firmness...ugh) and this totally depresses my chest and exposes more of my cleavage than I'd like.
I'll have to pair it with a sleeveless swim shirt for modesty.
Other than that, it fits true to size and makes me feel like an average size person. It's a terrific feeling to feel this good as I'm working to lose my extra weight.

I have bought from Speedo for quite a number of years. Everytime I have ordered from them, my product(s) have had by satisfaction. If I have any problems, the company is always willing to assist me both online and over the phone. You really have to check out your sizes becauses I have had wrong sizes. That department has changed over the years. I am lucky that I have relatives that wear some of my mistakes in sizes. I will buy from Speedo. I like their products!
Comments about Moderate Ultraback Plus Size - Speedo® Endurance+:
I have this in regular size and needed to get a plus size to get through the last months of pregnancy. The construction and material were completely different. There was a thick girdle in the middle so tight that my regular size had more space than the plus size. I wear speedo to work out not suck in my gut while i tan by the pool so this completely didn't work. Some other cons were padding in the bra, extra thick scratchy material (double material in the abs) and the breast area was extremely large compared to the mid section. I have large breasts so if the breast area was too large for me then it was extremely large.

Purchased for water aerobics & home pool use.Leg holes seemed to stretch and stay loose. Fabric probably holds up well in chlorine but feels warm and heavy.

I swim and do water excercises at the Y. Most suits only last a few weeks, these last for months. The last one lasted 6 months of 3-5 days a week swimming.
