I swim about 6 hours total per week. I have worn this style of suit for years and really like it - it is comfortable and fits well. However, they usually only last a year because the thread disintegrates. The rest of the suit is fine (no fading, no sagging, etc.) but the thread eventually disintegrates over the entire suit. Eventually, the elastic banding around the arms and legs becomes exposed and the material in the seat (where the seam comes together) starts to separate. I wish they used a different type of thread! This is the only reason I have to buy a new suit every year.

What happened to the standard smooth lycra racing suit? I buy several swimsuits at a time, the same size -- for YEARS. I'm a Masters swimmer who swims several times a week. I don't care so much about fashion or design; I like pro-back racing suits at a good value. This one has a strange cloth-like material that's itchy. It is slightly baggy so that it gathers at the chest and stomach; it doesn't have that snug hold-you-all-in feel that I want from a racing suit.

I wear this suit seven times a week to do long distance training. It has a great fit. It dries quickly, which is great when I am doing back to back training sessions. The color is a really rich black and in the month that I have worn it, it hasn't faded at all.
It is a really great, practical suit. I definitely recommend it.

I swim on my Master's team 3X a week. The suit fits short and the back strap feels awkward. I am big busted and would have liked a shelf bra for better lift.

Returned this suit due to the fit..not a good fit for me...ordered my typical size and the top was loose in the chest/arm area and the suit was too long.

I bought this suit because of its coverage, how it looks and for swimming laps in pools. It lasts a long time, providing you rinse and take care of it. I have the suit in different colors and have been wearing this style suit since 2003.

Holds up well with the chemicals in the pool. no fading ,no stretching. The wide shoulder straps make the suit easy to remove. I like the elastic around the legs. One complaint, the price tag on the suit showed $4.00 cheaper that what I was charged , why ??????

I bought the endurance suit to train for Triathlons. After 4 years of use this suit is now wearing out. I swim 3 to 4x's a week in the pool but after each swim I immediately wash the suit. I could not ask for a better product!
