I love these, and I just stock up on them. They're super durable and never seem to wear out- they don't sag, they keep their form. They're great.
BUT... when it's time to replace them, you and anyone else nearby will know without a doubt. On two occasions, the seam in the back has split, at, shall we say, the most inopportune time. Tonight was one of them. I'm warming down with an underwater lap and hear a slight rip. So here I am on the other side of the pool with a major wardrobe malfunction. What to do?
Anyhow, back at close end of the pool, I had to ask someone to grab my towel, and I sheepishly got out and left.
Other than that, these are fab!

Great shorts, seams not so great
PROS: Great material, stretches, but not permanently (thus it doesn't sag), color does not fade. I regularly stock up on these for lap swimming.

CONS: The seams lose their color. And they fail, catastrophically, since the seams fail before the fabric does. This has happened to me twice, and it's a bit embarrassing.
So, get these, but either replace them as soon as the seams start to lose color, or just be prepared that you might have a wardrobe malfunction.

I love these! It's so hard to find a decent suit that's not all baggy and hanging down to your knees, more cloth than a pair of jeans. These fit well and look good!

Bought this suit and the Speedo training suit, both in size 32. Thought the training suit was too large when they both arrived but turned out that the endurance was half the size of the training suit and I couldn't even get it over my hips. Looks like a good suit but if you buy one, order it one size larger than you normally wear.

I average swimming a mile per day at the local YMCA. My new swim trunks fit me just right. I like the tight feeling. It makes me feel like I am going through the water more smoothly. The trunks are relatively small and it dries out quickly. A pair of trunks usually lasts me for several months.

Beautiful color, seems to be well stitched. Was WAY too small though, way too small. Do yourself a favor and go up 1 size when you order. I had to return this, and lose $6 for the restock shipping fee, so I gave speedo $6 for nothing other than a bad sizing suit. Hubby wears a 32, per their sizing chart says order a 30.. NO WAY! It totally cut him off everywhere, way too small.

I've been swimming 5 days per week, 1 hour per day for the past 6 months with these trunks and they're holding up fine. Unlike other trunks, these don't fade and they stay tight. I'll definitely get those again. I like the square cut, but I wish it came in more colors and designs.

This meets my needs perfectly for daily lap swimming and workouts. The stitching is now in matching black rather than white -- Good. I hope the thread now is as durable as the fabric. The fabric, judging by my prior suit, is practically indestructable, and the thread that holds it together needs to last that long too.

Long lasting, but if often used (I swim 5 days a week) seams will tear after a few months. Because fabric doesnt fade, its difficult to tell when to replace it. This has led to it ripping in the middle of practice.

The fit is good and they are extremely comfortable when doing long lap swims.My only complaint is that the stiching starts to fade after about a month of use.

This is my second purchase of the Endurance suit, not because the other one wore out; I just wanted a different color. I have yet to use the second suit because there is nothing wrong the first one which I have had for several months of constant swimming. I just rinse them out at the gym pool, spin dry, and stick them in my mesh bag after each workout. No signs of wear yet!
They are comfortable and fit great. I highly recommend them for everyday training and endurance swimming.

This is a very durable swimming suit for your everyday training and also works for competitions, it is really comfortable and stays in place regardless of how fast you go or push off the wall. I use mine about 3 times a week and the last one I had lasted for about 2 years. Even then, the fabric was not damaged in the least. I needed to buy a new one only because the stitching was beginning to get torn. Take care of if and it will serve you well for a long time.
