 speedo swim suits September 12, 2008
These speedo swim suits are a good value in my opinion. They fit well, snug but not tight and they last for about 6 months. I swim w/ a masters group and am in chlorinated water 4 to 5 times/week.
 Disappointed September 1, 2008
The size advertised ("36"), and delivered (36")as evidenced by the label, did not match the actual small waist size of the product(approximately 30-32"). Was this the reason this product was so inexpensive- improper labeling at the factory?
Good Brief for the Price August 13, 2008
This brief is great. They're usually on sale at all the sporting good stores around where I live. They hold up well and are great for swimming laps. The first one I got lasted only a couple of months do to improper care. The second one I bought lasted much longer (8 months and going). I swim 2-3 hours a day 5 times a week, so it holds up pretty well. After using them, make sure to soak them in cold water for a few minutes then rinse them with cold water to get all the chlorine out.
 It's Speedos... June 5, 2008
...for swimming laps in the pool. That's it. I don't even wanna talk about.
A Classic - Gets the Job Done October 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm a U.S. Master's competitive swimmer, and I've been swimming most of my life. Over the years, I've tried racing briefs like this from just about every major manufacturer out there - Speedo, Tyr, Nike, Adidas, Arena, Dolfin, Hind, Victor, and Finals just to mention some.
This one is a timeless classic. It's comfortable and reasonably durable, and does it's job well. It comes in a great selection of colors. The only thing I don't like about it is that over the years, Speedo keeps making the sides wider and wider. It's got a lot of coverage now - a cut Jerry Falwell would love. If you like lots of coverage, that's great, but I find that as a result, these start to bag and sag on me as they loosen up, as lycra suits tend to do with use, and I swim 7 days a week... I've grown to prefer Tyr suits for their briefer, more comfortable and more flattering fit - that's just personal preference, though. Both are good brands.
Also, if you swim a lot, take a look at this same suit in Speedo's polyester-blend fabric "Endurance" line, if you want one that really holds up well over the long run.
