"Bought this suit with the mastectomy option to get the D/DD cup size. Bought 1 size larger. Good fit. I have been wearing it for 4 weeks 2 times a week to water aerobics class. LOVE it!! High neck and under arms. I am able to hook it in back by myself. Easy on and off. I will buy another" - Ramona |

"I teach a swimming class and I am in the water all the time. I have had swim suits last through 4 wears because of the chlorine. This suit has lasted me almost 3 years. Totally worth the money!" - Christa |

"Several of the gals in my water aerobic class have this suit and love it. They told me to order two sizes up and I thought I knew best and ordered one size up. Wrong! It is a bit snug as I am long in the torso. I like the suit and style of the high neck. I wanted to wear it so quick I kept my present size hoping it will give me the incentive to lose 5-10 lbs!" - Karla |

"This suit fits well, has awesome coverage, and seems to hold up well in the chlorine, but I cannot use it for laps. I usually swim for an hour straight, and I get serious chafing on the inside of my arms by the biceps due to the texture of the material.

"I love my new swimsuits. If they just hold up to chlorine as advertised, I will be so happy. I got the high necked suit in brick red and also in navy blue. They fit perfectly and the colors are great. I got my normal size and that works for me. They look so great! Thanks." - Celeste |

"Love the suit, fits great, was true to size. Had problem with clip breaking but the company was wonderful about sending a new clip and how to fix it." - Vivan |
|
"This suit is comfortable and much easier to get on and off than the non-crinkle material. I love the storm color of my krinkle high neck... I love the high neck for modesty. "-Anita |

"This is a fantastic suit! I love the fit and the colors you have. I have just ordered my second suit but in a different style. I have to say, I'm glad I found your company on the internet. I could not find a suit like this locally. Your company and your excellent service speaks for itself. "-Mary |

"I bought this suit about 3 weeks ago and love it. I guess I'm the exception to the rule. I first went up a size (a 14) and the suit I received was too big, sent it back and they sent me my size (a 12) and it fits perfectly. No shipping charge on the new suit. I love the way it fits...read full review - I'm tall, 5'10", and it fits so well and makes me look very slim. I feel it is very complimentary on me much more so than a suit with a lower front. I'm considering another in another color."- Pat |

"I have a back injury and am in the pool five days a week for therapy. I bought my first suit last June and the outside still holds up great (the inner lining is in shreds but who sees that part anyway). This really is a great suit."-Inara |
|
"I really like the beautiful color of my suit. It fits well top to bottom. I ordered one size larger as suggested. The amazing thing is that the bust area fits me well, something I have always struggled with wearing a size D...read full review The material is chafing my upper arms a little but I just need to learn to hold my arms out during water aerobics. Good price too." |

"Great suit. I lap swim daily, so I need a polyester suit to hold up to the chlorine. Since I'm very busty (G cup), I have always had trouble finding a poly suit to accomodate... read full review All the big-brand competition suits just didn't have enough fabric for me on top. I found this site through a google search and ordered the high-necked suit 1-size-up with the D/DD-Mastectomy-bra option
(even though I haven't had a mastectomy) and simply snipped out the prosthesis pocket. It's great. I'm totally covered and supported. I wasn't sure I'd like the krinkle fabric, but I really do like it. It doesn't slow me down while swimming, and it makes a utilitarian lap suit look absolutely glamorous...and the krinkle helps hide figure flaws too! So, now I'm ordering a second suit and throwing all my skimpy-topped Speedo's away. If/when the color options in my size get replenished, I'll be ordering more.

"I have had my suit for over a year, I have worn it at least twice a week, It has kept both it's color and shape. I am ordering a new one because the lining began to sag." -Juanita |

"I am purchasing my third suit. My previous suits have all lasted well over a year each and I am in the pool 4-5 hours a week. I am very pleased with the way these suits wear."-Barbara |

"I never bought any type of clothing online before and to buy a bathing suit online I thought would be risky. But I took a chance and could not believe it. This is the most comfortable suit I ever owned. I have already recommended this website to a friend who needs a new suit."

"This is the third mastectomy suit (it's an option on this suit) that I have tried and I will never need to look again... read full review Swimming is perfect post-op therapy and other suits can't take the chlorine. Also, the krinkle fabric hides any irregularities and allows me to use nylon puffs as prosthesis, which are weightless and dry quickly. My only negative comment is that the prosthesis pockets should be higher. Please consider adding Long Sizes to your inventory! Thanks!"-Deirdre |

"I am fairly new to water aerobics, beginning just five months ago. Since I knew nothing about how chlorine could damage swim suit material, I went through three suits very quickly. I am in the water four hours a week. I discovered Swim and Sweat online and bought the high neck tank. I went up one size and the fit is perfect. I love the suit, bought a second suit just like it in another color. Both are just as bright as when I first bought them and there is no sagging either. I highly recommend this suit".-Julia |

"I am an instructor, bought a suit almost 2 years ago, still wearing, shell coming apart. LOVE this suit. I teach 3 times a week. I bought the size I wear, no binding, no pinching and no rubbing."-Linda |

"I just love my suit! I bought one size larger and it fits great. Love the jewel colors and ready to buy another one. My aqautics instructor has one of these too."

"The suit fits great and I'm really excited about wearing it...read full review I hope it lasts as long as some of your reviewers online have said. I've spent a lot more for suits that only last a few months when going to water fitness classes on a regular basis. The water shoes also fit well. I really appreciate your helpful and concerned attitude. I can't remember the last time I felt so valued as a customer. Swim and Sweat has my business going forward and I will tell all my water exercise friends about your great company. Thank you!"

"I am ordering my third high neck suit from your company...that alone is a notable indorsement...read full review I go to Aqua Aerobics daily and previous to buying two suits from this company last spring, was going through "designer" suits like crazy.Just recently, after 12 month of daily use and abuse, the suit lining is beginning to shred, and the fabric not as supportive...but I am not complaining, I have gotten my money's worth out of them. Am looking forward to receiving the eggplant suit sometime next week . "TANKS" for a quality product. (pun intended)."-Sue |

"I go to water aerobics 3 times a week at an outdoor pool, and the chlorine levels destroy all regular suits in about 3 months...read full review I bought the high neck tank and told everyone at the pool that it is Chlorine proof. No one believed me that the suit was Chlorine Proof. We actually counted the times I wore it and were checking the color, and making sure it was still in good condition each time. I am proud to say the suit lasted 9 months!! In this pool that is a record. The lining has finally given out, and I am ordering the exact same suit. Thank you for having a suit that holds up."-Donna |

"I am a swimming instructor and have been looking for a comfortable, attractive, swimsuit that holds up in the water and I finally found it!...read full review I really like the high neck as I don't have to worry about coverage if I'm teaching my students or swimming laps. I made it through the whole summer of swimming lessons and my suit hasn't faded or stretched. That has never happened before. It really stands up in the chlorine."-Tawnie |
