ARENA Women's Performance Marbled Sports Swimsuit Light Drop Back Bathing Suit

I do like Arena Swimming suits!

So far so good with this suit. The size 40 fits my 5'4", 155 lbs body well and I've very happy with the butt coverage. I haven't worn it in a pool yet but there's a sort of roll or small looseness in the center in the chest- maybe just from the fold in shipping and will come out after some use- but minimal/barely noticeable so not worth returning. This is my first Arena suit but sizing seems consistent with the Speedo and TYR. Those are the brands I have use for over 10 years but my most recent TYR has shown signs of wearing/stretching of outer layer after only 10 or so uses despite my care in rinsing, etc. Fingers crossed this suit wears well over time since I'm not inclined to keep paying the high cost of TYR if their suits aren't going to last. Based on the fit and the price-point of these suits this could be my new favorite brand for performance suits!

I swim laps 5x + per week and need suits that will last.This is a solid suit in terms of fit - the 32 is comparable to other like suits - I usually wear TYR and was happy to find the measurements are similar in the sizing charts for TYR.This is a really fun, stylish pattern - not often the case in these kinds of suits - in fact I usually buy solids when I’ll be swimming at the beach with family and friends and save the patterns for the indoor pool. This pattern is stylish enough I’d actually wear it to the beach - (but noted - the fabric was designed to hold up to chlorine!)Although the photos show the models wearing the seat of this suit a bit high - I was glad that I didn’t find the cut quite as high since I prefer more coverage. (For reference I’m 5’3”).I’d prefer a bit snugger grip in the fabric to feel more supported overall - (for reference I’m a C cup) - but I know the snugness can vary by fabric in any brand.This fabric is listed on the label as 100% chlorine proof - that’s a tall order - most of my suits stretch out after about 3 months and then become too loose for me to enjoy lap swimming in them after 4-5 months of 5-6 days of swimming per week - even if I pay extra for a chlorine resistant fabric - so I’d have to put this suit to the test over months to weigh in accurately … however the label also states the fabric is of recycled yarns - what’s not to love about that?

great recreational swimsuit. I mainly use it for lap swimming, but the quality is nice. Fit is TTS. These do run very snug. If you don't want a very tight suit, size up. These are supposed to be tight to reduce drag and make you faster when swimming. I have these to hold up well with chorine.

I’m taking one for the team and going to show you how this fits on my middle aged mom body. I’m around 145lbs, 5’6”, usually wear 8-10 in dresses, and got a size 36. Right now I’ll only review fit and initial impressions. I only swim in a pool a couple times a month so I’ll revise this review later if I experience any fading or break down of the elasticity..The material not as stretchy/shiny as most I’ve had, but is normal practice suit thickness and is lined in the front. There is good range of motion for the arms and the armpits are shaped to not chafe (a problem I’ve had with other suits/bras) Note this suit doesn’t have a shelf bra built in, this makes the straps and the compression the only things providing chest support. That being said the support seemed ok, having a 34DDD chest there was some bouncing going on but I felt secure that I was not going to pop out. I do wish there was a bit more coverage in the rear, and a shelf bra to take some weight off the straps.This seems best suited to lap swimming, but would also work well under a wetsuit because of it’s simple design

Many years ago my wife worked for an Arena swimsuit distributor and always liked their swimsuits. The style and the color have always been exceptional. When I asked my wife if she wanted an Arena swimsuit again there was an immediate "YES!". She selected the Multi/Blue Navy suit. She excitedly opened the package and tried it on. It fit perfectly and, blue being her favorite color, it looked great on her. She remarked that the missed having an Arena swimsuit.SO...long story short: Perfect fit. Great color. Happy customer.

I got this because I swim laps and I'm a former high school swim coach. Although these days I don't look slim and sleek, I still need a suit that can withstand the chlorine of our pool. I'm not a stickler about this, but it does have recycled plastic in it. I'll be interested to see how it holds up. I have a feeling the recycled part is nominal, but it is environmentally responsible. It doesn't have that odd feel to it that recycled fabric has.The fit is good. It does have a lower back which is pretty standard for a suit that's not from one of the bigger manufacturing brands. But it's cute and I like the print, which is why I choose the suits I do. I got my regular size of 38 and the fit is perfect. On the model it looks like the sides and rear come up high and I was concerned about that. But it fits fine. If you're concerned about that, you should probably size up.The price point is about average for this type of suit. As long as it holds up to 2-3 times a week in the water, that's fine with me!

The color pattern on this swimsuit is absolutely great, and the fit is generally snug and supportive for my training sessions. I love the “Light Drop Back” design, which gives it a sporty look and offers freedom of movement, especially in the shoulders. However, the material feels slightly stiffer than other Arena suits I’ve tried, which takes a little getting used to. Overall, a solid choice that looks great and performs well, but not the softest material out there.
