Women's Solid Moderate Ultraback Plus Size Black

I love this suit. The material feels almost silky ad very lightweight. It fits true to size. My only wish is that speedo carried more suits like this for plus size, older, women. We love to swim as much as smaller size women. More varied colors, same material and quality please!!!!!!!

I loved this suit when I first got it. I swim three times a week so the suit gets about 5 hours a week of exposure to a salt water pool (first 2 months) and now a chlorine pool. The suit was very comfortable and I really enjoyed wearing it. I rinse it out every time and have washed in cool water and always dry in the bathroom. Unfortunately it has not lasted well at all. I got the suit around the 10th of March 2022 and as of yesterday, May 23rd it is no longer wearable. It is stretched out and badly degraded in the front and where the straps come together in the back. Very disappointed since the suit is supposed to last for 300 hours. I got less than 75 hours of use from this suit. For the money it is really a disappointment. Suits suitable for lap swimming are hard to find in plus sizes so I was thrilled to find this one but when my second one (ordered before this one fell apart so badly) is used up I'll probably go back to a Land's End suit which lasted longer but was not as comfortable. Speedo should be able to do better!

I am a plus girl who swims serious laps. This suit fit well and was comfortable for swimming. I like the racerback. I did buy a size larger than necessary because I have a long torso and didn't want my shoulders to get cut into by the straps. So the bad wear is definitely not because of my body "straining" the suit. However, the fabric is losing all stretch and fading quite badly. I alternate suits, so this is only worn 2-3 times a week. I always rinse it out immediately, then wash every other time in cold water and always dry on a rack inside, never in the sun. I bought this in August of 2021, so it's not even a year old yet. It is all saggy and baggy and thin, so I will need to retire it. Compare this to my Lands End tugless tank suit, which is 3 years older, was for a time my only lap swimming suit, and still has all its stretch, though it, too has faded. Much superior fabric by Lands End for similar price point. (Disappointed that Speedo was only available in black. Plus girls like colors and patterns, too. Navy, purple, teal, maroon would all be good colors if you think big girls should stay conservative. An all-over pattern is flattering, BTW. )
