 Good basic suit- not lined July 18, 2010
A.J.T. (Brooklyn, NY)
I have been swimming laps a few times a week in this suit for the last 3-4 months, and I really like it.
The wide straps are nice, and it's comfortable in the water- I'm not thinking about my suit while I'm swimming. I always rinse it in fresh water when I'm done swimming, and so far I don't see any chlorine damage.
Unlike my other Speedo, this suit is not lined. It doesn't bother me, even though I usually need softcup bras to prevent "headlights." The fabric is thick enough and tight enough to be supportive but not revealing. I think the lack of lining is also one of the reasons it dries so quickly- faster than any suit I've ever had.
As other posters have mentioned, the sizing on race suits is tight and small. Try on some Speedos at a store before you order, or order a couple and send the small ones back.
Update- I looked more closely at the suit today and realized the front has a double layer of fabric, which I guess qualifies as a lining.
Good 'ol Speedo July 13, 2010
C. Sinosic (Saudi Arabia)
I am a 34 year old mother of 3 and have been wearing speedo bathing suits since my days as a lifeguard/swim teamer. Speedo never lets me down. This particular model is a bit thinner than some of the others, but it's also one of the least expensive so, get what you pay for. The fit is nice: the neckline is high and the legs are cut low enough to be sensible but high enough to not make you look like you're trying to wear swim shorts.
I'm 5'2" and curvy (read - 3 months postpartum and nursing)
Great Bargain July 12, 2010
Emily Miller Huddell (Haddonfield, NJ United States)
The quality of the suit is great, esp. for the price. It's also a relatively flattering cut.
Great suit, but order several sizes up! July 10, 2010

I've owned this suit for about 6 weeks now. I swim in it 2-3 times a week in 2 different chlorinated pools. No signs of wear/tear at all! It's holding up really well.
It is a race suit, and I guess serious swimmers like their swimwear to be tight. I don't like feeling constricted, so I ordered several sizes up. I am 5'2", weigh 105 pounds, and ordered a size 36 after trying on Speedo suits in stores. This one is a little looser than ones I tried on in the store, so I probably could've gone with a 34. It's definitely not the highest quality suit I've ever owned, but for the price, I'm very happy with it.
Would definitely recommend with no hesitation!
 It's ok, but I like the TYR better July 9, 2010
Runner from FL (Florida)
I bought this suit as a second suit to use for a training class I do at the gym. It is ok for the price, but I like the more expensive TYR suit I have much better. The solid color is more "revealing" than some of the multi-color suits. By that I mean it reveals every curve and bump (good & bad). It doesn't fit as snuggly as the TYR suit.
I'll use it, but I wouldn't buy another one.
