5.0 out of 5 stars A Swimming Brief that Sets the Standard, November 20, 2005

By	James Koenig "konedog" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Speedo makes great swimming suits and this 1" model (the one inch being the measurement of the material at the side of the hip), is designed for friction-free swimming. It is very "brief", and covers only the essentials. Please men, if you have a roll of fat or a huge rear end, this is not the suit for you!

Relatively inexpensive at around 20 bucks, this suit has just one drawback - it will fade in color and get thinner as it is exposed to chlorinated water. To make it last longer, always rinse the suit out in cold water after swimming, this will slow the wearing of the suit. There are other suits that are of heavier construction that will not thin as much as this Speedo, but with the heavier construction comes more bulk and more friction - so choose your enemy (bulk and longer-lasting, or a faster more comfortable suit but wears out quicker). Most of my suits last about a year, and I swim about 3-4 times a week.

I do recommend Speedo suits and most Speedo products for they are made for both the recreational lap-swimmer and the competitive swimmer. When you jump in the pool with one of these babies on, the rest of the swimmers know you are there for business and not a casual dip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fit., July 7, 2005

By	Kermit the Frog (Southeast US) - See all my reviews

I swim 3-5 miles a week and I have been wearing this suit for 3 years. Excellent fit with great support. The higher leg cut allows more movement without bunching up. Like all swimwear, I do have to replace it after 4-5 months of continuous wear because color fades and material thins. But that is expected with the amount of chlorine exposure. One way I have found to prolong its life is to soak it in ice water for a few hours after use.

Some reviews have stated that the sizing is on the small side. I believe the sizing is intended to be slightly smaller than regular clothes. Because the material will stretch a bit after a couple of uses, if one gets a size larger (which I did once by accident), then the streamline fit is lost.

As for the color, as a serious swimmer, I personally prefer the darker shades (black or navy). I assume that I already get plenty of attention with the 1" cut that I do not want to draw even more attention with a bright red or yellow suit. But if that is your intent, go for the light colors.

Bottom line: great fitting suit that is perfect for workouts and highlights a swimmer's body

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice, April 25, 2006

By	Sammy Chester "Beach Hound" (etown, PA) - See all my reviews

I have several of these bikinis and have never had a problem with them. Recently picked up the new white version and even though it is fully lined (front & back) it is completely see through when wet. Maybe not a bad thing?
