I have switched to Arena this year after giving this a try. I love the quality of the suit and how it fits my daughter for her team practice. She loves the super cute design. I will say that I originally ordered a size 26 because that is what she is in TYR and Nike. But it was falling off her butt. I did need t size down to a 24 in arena. I’ve been handwashing the suit and haven’t had any wear issues at all Read more

I picked this suit up for a close friend who spends a significant amount of time training in the pool and needed a morale boost during those grueling early morning sets. The visual impact of the yellow base color is absolute sunshine; it pops incredibly well against the blue of the water and makes spotting her in a crowded lane effortless. The country flags pattern adds a layer of international flair that feels sporty and competitive without looking chaotic. It is not just a swimsuit; it feels like a piece of equipment designed to look fast even when standing still on the blocks. The print quality is sharp, and even after several weeks of heavy rotation, the colors haven't shown a single hint of fading, maintaining that 'right out of the packaging' vibrancy. Arena’s MaxLife fabric is, in my opinion, the gold standard for training swimwear, and this suit is no exception to that rule. Because it is 100% polyester, it does not have the spongy, giving feel of a standard Lycra fashion suit. Instead, it feels substantial and bombproof. When my friend first tried it on, she noted the "locked-in" feeling which is exactly what you want for lap swimming. There is zero risk of the fabric bagging out or becoming see-through after exposure to harsh pool chemicals. This material is engineered to resist chlorine degradation, meaning this suit will likely outlast three or four standard spandex suits. It holds its shape relentlessly, providing a sleek profile that reduces drag significantly. The fit of the Light Drop back is excellent for shoulder mobility. My friend has broader shoulders from years of swimming, and the thin straps sit comfortably between the shoulder blades without digging in or restricting movement during high-volume freestyle or butterfly sets. The open back design allows for a fantastic feel for the water, while the size 30 fit is true to competitive sizing standards—meaning it is very snug. For those unaccustomed to competitive swimwear, it might feel tight initially, but that compression is necessary for performance. The leg cut is medium-high, offering a full range of motion for kicks while providing appropriate coverage. It stays put during flip turns and dives, requiring absolutely no adjustment mid-swim, which allows for total focus on the workout. Read more

I am not on any racing teams, but I enjoy swimming laps as part of my exercising routines and this bathing suit is perfect. It is definitely pretty snug, but once I am able to get it on it is comfortable and flattering. The material is not super stretchy so it can be a struggle to get on and off, but this is pretty typical for racing suits. The fit is great, and pretty consistent with the size chart provided. I am 5'7" and 145 lbs and I ordered a 30. It fits pretty snug, but totally wearable. I like how high the neckline is, because I am not afraid of the top falling off. The colors are nice and the design is cute. It dries pretty quickly. The stitching at the seams is not itchy or abrasive. I am very pleased with this suit. Read more
