A very serviceable suit for lap swimming.
This suit fits well. Normally I wear an 18 but took a chance on the 16Long and it's just fine.

Comfortable
Comfortable, well made swimsuit. Size purchased as advised. After few months of usage, still looks great.

very attractive suit
This suit is works well for water aerobics. It fits as expected and holds up in chlorine water.

No breast support
This swimsuit has no support for the breast (the pink one)

loosens as you swim
the black side panels seem wimpy as far as material goes - loosens up as you are swimming lap and sags at the end.

long torso like it says!
I'm only 5'5" but have a very long torso (64"). I usd to wear Lands End or LLBean long torso suits but they've both really changed their fitโnot as long as before and they now use uncomfortable, itchy foam cups (and which are awful to swim or exercise in) instead of the soft cups they were using before (and they also had shelf bra styles but no longer, and hardly any racer back or corss strps, both more comfortable than traditional U- shaped backs).Anyway, I have ordered and returned numberous swimsuits this year to find one that fit and finally this one is long enough. Based on revies, I first ordered a size up from my usual size but had to return for my normal size (10 Long). I'm 5'5",133 pounds. It's not easy to get on (tight going over hips, but I'm kind of pear shaped) which is a drag, but is fine once on. But I'm just so glad to have a suit that's long enough, with a racer back and no bulky foam cups. I's not very fashionable but utilitarian. Wish Speedo would offer some of their other styles in long.I dont' knwo why companies don't see that there are many tall and/or jsut long torso women who also need swimsuits!

Great suit for long torsos!
I bought this suit a year ago - so this review comes after much use.I purchased a size 10 long. I have a very long torso - but I am not particularly tall. At the time of the order I weighed 130 pounds and am 5'7" tall. The suit fit well. i have since lost 15 pounds and the suit it a little loose - probably from wear on the fabric as well as the weight loss.I swim on 3-4 times per week outside and rinse the suit in clean water after my swim. I rarely washed the suit. It held up very well. It needs replacement now because it has gotten thin in the backside and there are some runs in the fabric near the arm holes. I have historically had a great deal of difficulty finding one piece suits that fit - this one is one of the only ones. I believe the size 10 was a size up or so in order to get additional length (the suit was not super tight when new). If you are particularly tall I would recommend going up one suit size in order to have additional length. The front is fully lined and there is an unlined shelf bra. If you regularly swim laps this is a good performance suit. It does not have pads in the chest area. In terms of comparison to less expensive suits, the construction of the interior of the suit and the sewing is better - more durable and the quality of the fabric is very good.The suit has been the first comfortable one-piece bathing suit that I have ever had and I am reordering now because I have been so happy with this product. Highly recommend!

Great for ling torso.
I honestly love this suit. Its kind of an old lady suit because of how the cut is around thr bum but i love how it fits on me actually. Im 30, 5'7" and weigh 135 or 140 lbs. But my torso is LONG compared to my legs and cute rompers and one piece suits never fit me. This suit is perfect and long enough. So glad not to have the feeling of a huge wedgie or shoulder straps digging in!Ive only used it half a dozen times so i cant speak to the long term quality. But if you do lots of laps regularly you knowthst you have to replace suits often. However the fabric feels thick. Its thicker than my previous training suits. Now thst im more of a rec swimmer who does the odd lap swim this is def great.

Poor durability
I loved the fit of this suit to start. Nice conventional cut, good butt coverage. But after about 2 months it has become baggy and saggy and the colour is fading. Very disappointing. I swim about 5 times per week. This suit is clearly not designed for regular swimming in a chlorinated pool. Actually I'm not sure what it's designed for, as no swimsuit should wear out after just a couple of months of wear. I normally trust this brand so this was very disappointing.

Comfortable Lap Suit
I never write reviews so you know this was good. I've been looking for a new sport swimsuit for a while but most swim brands don't carry larger sizes. I am a lifeguard and play water polo at my university so I wanted a suit that I can do laps in and not just a fashion bathing suit (which is what most of the choices for plus sized women are) I was so happy to find a speedo suit that fit me (I used to wear the "normal" sizes but over the years have gained weight which is totally fine but I haven't been able to wear the suits I've always worn) The only thing for me is that its not as tight as I am used to and if it was available I might have tried a size 18 instead (reference I am 5'11, 275lbs, 42" waist and 52" hips and I ordered a size 20) Otherwise the size guide is great. I also am not a fan of the shelf bra and pads inside but once its on you don't really notice it. The cut of this bathing suit is very modest (again I'm used to high cut suits so not my favourite) but it means you don't have to keep fixing a wedgie making it great for lifeguarding. Overall the quality is great, super comfortable to wear, shipping was fast and I would definitely recommend :)

Updated: not a Very good suit
This suit seemed to be of very good quality material and performed well in the water but 2 months after purchase, the lining began to discolour. Three months in and the outer layer is now starting to break down. It is fully lined, doesn't bag or sag when wet, and seems to dry quickly. It's very thick and has good, modest coverage. Thatโs the only good thing about it.Update: Speedo sent me a replacement suit (a different model) and after 3 months of daily swimming, this suit has also disintegrated. Sadly I will never buy another Speedo (even though my old Endurance suit is still perfect after 14 years).

Suit is disintegrating
I bought this suit at the end of September 2020 and a friend got one too. Like some of the other reviews, our suits are disintegrating. A white band first appeared just below the bust line and now more parts of the suit are starting to bag and go white. I loved my suit when it first arrived. Very comfortable and a good weight. I have been length swimming twice a week and am very careful to rinse and gently wash my suit after each use. I have never had this problem with any of my Speedo suits in the past. Both my friend and I are horrified. I have contacted Speedo but no response as yet.
