Speedo Optik Spliced Swimsuit - 1-Piece, Fully Lined (For Women)

I bought this suit in my size. couldn't get it over my hips--and i am not very hippy. order up a couple of sizes before you buy!

Wear this 3-4x a week for pool workouts; my most recent Speedo lasted 8 months; not bad for the amount of use. The fit is snug but I order my actual size and like the fit.

I love this suit: I swim 5 times a week in a municipal pool, my previous one (identical) lasted 7 months of training, although the color faded quickly. About sizing - this is a racing suit, designed to fit VERY tight. I'm 5'5' 125lb, for casual swimming I ordered sz 32, for racing sz 30. For competitive racers I would recommend sz 28. This suit is cut pretty high on the legs to give a nice look to the waist.

I take swimming class at the community college three days a week and mostly swim laps and drills. The suit feels great and I love the cut. The suit provides great compression yet is elastic and comfortable. I am 5"2 and around 130 lbs. I originally ordered a size 34 and felt too tight. The body of the suit was good but the suit cut in around the legs and shoulder. Once I exchanged for a size up, size 36 fit great and is very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this suit, just order a size up from your normal bra size.
