TYRWomen's Durafast Elite Square Neck Controlfit Swimsuit

I went to my local outdoor store to look for a swim suit that was suitable for the pool but that would also be good for lap swimming. I have a 4 year old, and post baby body with some extra weight. This was the only suit out of a dozen that I tried that fit in all the right places. The suit is nice. It sucks in the fat in all the right places (stomach, back and hips). It does fit snug, so although I normally wear a size 8 in clothes (I am 5'2" and 145 lbs), I had to buy a size 10 in this. The price on Amazon is amazing. The recreational equipment store where I tried it on wanted me to pay $70. I looked on amazon and behold it was around $30. The suit is very flattering. The white piping at the straps gives it a less generic, more feminine look. I like the thicker straps. The back of the suit comes up to the shoulder blades, so it hides the back fat, and I like this because it provides more coverage (for me that's a plus because I am a melanoma survivor. The more coverage the better.) The cups have a little padding to provide better coverage as well. Now I look forward to going to the pool.

Great swimsuit. Fits really well. Well constructed and is very flattering. Only reason I took off one star off the rating is because it's impossible to remove and fix the light padding/liner that is in the bust area. When it shifts and folds, there is no way for me to adjust it because there's no slit/opening to remove/add/fix the padding like there are on most bathing suits. However, the construction and fit of the swimsuit makes up for the 15 minutes it takes me to sit there patiently to realign and fix the unruly pads.

Happy with the fit and support. I feel the butt could be maybe an inch more to do a comfy coverup of the mama cheeks but it does the job. I'm 5'7 140lbs with 34/36 D cup. I went with the size 12. The cup support is a tad more of a sports spary/smashed support but nothing pops out or down. The pads do move around quite a bit with wear and movements. They are sewn into the seems therefore in order to unfold them.and move them back in place you have to fiddle with them quite a bit. I will only hang dry because I'm scared of shrinking the suit or totally discombobulatin' the pads. For the price, I hope it takes me through the summer and lots of movements in kiddy pools!.. we shall see. Overall very happy. It was also a try before you buy! Which made it even more awesome.

The underbust elastic is strangely low. The size 14, hit me (5'5") right at the bottom of the rib cage. To fit properly, it would need to be at least 2 inches of unstretched fabric higher. At 36G, the entire top half of my chest pops out the top due to how short the suit - but it is actually fully contained at the sides, which is amazing - and makes this suit a keeper. I removed the pads - there is a slot to pull them through. This is an easy to put on suit great for a quick pop into the lake. I would wear something else for a full day at the beach (for me a tankini with shorts) or to actually swim in (the tyr maxback). Why not really swim in it? There are a lot of seams on the inside, particularly in the underarm (where an underwire would hit in a bra), this would likely be uncomfortable with a lot of arm motion. Also, it is low enough in the front to cause major drag. the piping and shape of the top part are cute though - and at least dry, the bottom is not too large for my apple shape, which is usually the case with suits that fit me on top.

I've been wearing this swimsuit to the local community pool to swim laps, and it's holding up very well. The water at the pool is highly chlorinated, and my previous swim suit quickly lost all color and started to wear in the seams due to the chemicals. This suit is a dark raspberry color, and it's remained consistent for the past month of wearing about every other day. I haven't seen any problems with the stitching or fabric.One thing I do not like is the pads in the breast area. I wish I could remove that entirely from the suit, but they are sewn in, so I'd need to cut some of the stitching to remove them. Many bras come with a small seam that allows you to remove the pads these days, which I do immediately. I'm not sure why this detail was omitted (perhaps they don't want the pads to accidentally slip out while you swim?)Also, these run tight. I typically wear a size 10, so I purchased a 12, but that was still too tight for me. I returned it for a size 14, and I'm really happy with the size now.

So I was so excited to receive this product! I got it out of the bag and it looked nice, like really nice. I felt like a kid on Christmas. When I held it up it looked short. Now my heart was a little sad. I shimmied it up and it fit but it was way too short. It looked like I should have been on baywatch but everyone was fat. We didnt run to save the drowning people we only slightly jogged because we were all worried about falling out of our swim suits.I am 5’11 and I have problems finding swimsuits that are long enough so to be fair it is probably more my body than the suit, but I was still highly disappointed considering I went up a size.The quality of the suit was amazing and I wish I could find one that fit me. It would make swimming so much better and more comfortable.

I love the fit of this swimsuit. I'm 5', 110 lbs and the size 10 fits perfectly. The style is comfortable and the material is substantial

Wanted to love this suit because I've owned many by the brand and I loved the camo with pink design. But it's very short in the torso and barely covers my chest. I ordered the same size as I have ordered for other suits in this brand and it just isn't the right cut. Really disappointed but I missed the return window so I'm stuck with the loss.
