ARENAWomen's Feel Solid Control Pro Back Swimsuit One Piece Bathing Suit

I've been a swimmer, on swim teams, since I was 6 years old. I have also taught swimming, and coached it. This bathingsuit, while it covers more than I would like (I prefer ones with skinny straps that are also tiny around the back), it's a solid suit for swimming laps in and training in. If I was only reviewing this for functionality, it would maintain 5/5 stars. But let's look at the features further. It has some type of built in bra on the outside of the suit, and it looks really odd (which is the only reason I ordered it in black instead of in teal or purple). I also would absolutely not pay this price for this suit, regardless of the brand. I like Arena as a brand, and wish this had been their rulebreaker bikini set for training, and I use their pink pullkick pro swim kickboard religiously, but this suit is just weird, which ends up deducting a star. If you want a 1-piece with extra support built into it and minimal back exposure, this might be good for. And luckily, it's part of the "try free for 7 days" program, so you can feel safe ordering it to try on and see what you think. (I completely disagree that it is "stylish" though, and that should be removed from the description of the ad). 4/5 stars, would definitely choose something different, but it's functional and that's the most important aspect of any swimsuit.

This swim suit is true to size, comfortable and has a stylish cut. My daughter is on her middle school swim team and is eager to try her new swimsuit. It fits well and looks like it will hold up well.

My wife is a serious masters swimmer and is always in need of an additional bathing suit. She's not planning on trying to impress at the beach. She wants a good suit for her 3/week swimming sessions.We are well familiar with the Arena brand as a serious swimmer-focused company. She liked general look of this suit and the color, so she thought she'd give it a try. Overall, it's become a nice addition to her swimsuit rotation.The suit provides nice coverage overall. It's generally modest, but still looks quite nice on. She says it's very comfortable to wear and finds it supportive in the right ways. The suit doesn't slide down or anything like that. It does seem that it really is built for people to swim in, not just lounge around in. So overall this has been a good addition to her swimwear rotation. It'll get a lot of use, I'm sure.

I ordered a size up because Arena is notoriously tight. It is comfortable probably because of the thin material. I was planning on wearing this for a coaches race at a kids' swim meet. When I was putting it on, I realized I could see one of my tattoos that shouldn't be visible in a one piece suit. So I took a photo of myself wearing it in a block start position and my butt crack was definitely visible. I expected more from Arena (especially a lining). I will be returning this suit. I am in the water 6 days a week, and I just know this won't hold up the way I need it to.

I am a lifelong competitive swimmer and love the look of competition suits but having a large top makes them uncomfortable for casual swimwear. This suit is a good mix of competition and casual with the built in bra that even swims well with the un-resistible lap or two even on my days off.

UPDATE:After a few months in the rotation, this suit thinned far too quickly in several large sections and developed a visible pattern (wet or dry). It was nice while it lasted, but be prepared that it doesn't seem to have the same chlorine resistance as other suits.ORIGINAL:This Arena swimsuit is a hit. It's comfortable, stays in place, and feels nice in and out of the water. The dark teal color is pretty and a bit different.The fabric is thinner and lighter than some training suits--too soon to say if that might affect durability. There's a diagonal seam across the bust that looks a bit odd, but feels fine. The back straps seem to hit the perfect balance: not too wide, not too narrow.My version had some minor yet noticeable bagginess in the neckline, though it doesn't seem to matter in the water.

Perhaps this thin, sheer texture is desired by some? It is made with recycled plastic bottles. Arena is a respected brand in athletic and competitive swimwear. Perhaps this works perfectly for some? Allowing flow? It seems to be marketed as a multi-purpose suit. It is cute, it is well made. I suggest purchase larger than your normal size, that way, it won't overstretch the already sheer/thin material.

This swimsuit is comfortable and doesn't fade in the wash. The straps don't cut into my skin and the chest area isn't too low like some other suits I've tried. It also doesn't ride up when I'm swimming so I can focus.
