Speedo Women's Race Xtra Life Lycra Quantum Solid Splice Superpro Back One Piece Swimsuit, Navy and Blue, 40

Great suit at an exceptional price if wou're used to Speedos. Get a size or two larger than than you would in clothing as they fit tightly (but are supposed to). I am usually a size 6 petite, and take a 36 Speedo. The straps on this one provide good support.

We really love our Speedo products, but this one was a racer suit. The size chart for these are so confusing. We took the measurements that we thought were appropriate, and the suit was still way way too small. I realize racer suits are a tighter fitting suit, but the suit was for our twelve year old. It would have fit our 8 year old snug! Anyway, we really love Speedo, just be careful with their racer sizing charts. Buy bigger than the measurements!!

I used to be a swimming champ
I strutted round the pool
Now that time's gone marching on
I'm rated as "old school"

But still I like to reminisce
To when I was the best
Winning loads of medals
With the "Speedo" on my chest

Now I have to teach my son
(A very daunting task)
I want to wear a racing suit
(Is that too much to ask?)

I won't be seen in public with
My midriff in full view
I'll never wear a granny suit
That has a brassiere too

No two piece suits or thongs for me
No skirts or macramé
I'll live and die a Speedo fan
No matter what folks say

This suit is perfect for the job
The straps are nice and wide
The legs aren't cut way up to there
It hides what needs to hide

The racer back sits really well
I love the purple trimming
I chose the black because it is
Aesthetically slimming

Now when I dive into the pool
The suit fits like a glove
No longer champ, I am but a
Facsimile thereof
