I am a swim instructor, and at the time of owning this suit I was only in the water maybe 10 hours per week. After less than 2 weeks, this suit began to lose its lining and discolor tremendously. After a month the outer layer began to fall apart and rip as I took the suit off. I was vigilant in taking it off, bringing it home, rinsing it under cold water, and hanging it up to dry. This fabric simply didn't hold up.

Use it 4 times a week for lap swimming

Needed a swim suit that holds up to water aerobics. Also, has to last from wear and tear of pool water. Don't want something that fades, or loosens up, or falls off. So far so good. Wore three times so far. Hopefully it holds up.

PERFECT!

I teach water 6 water aerobics classes a week. These suits perform well which is why I continue to reorder.
