Review on 🏊 Speedo Women's Swimsuit: Endurance+ Flyback Block in Team Colors - Perfect for Adult Competitive Swimming by Ryan Marx

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid Maternity Tracksuit

I bought this suit to train during my pregnancy (I competed in college swimming at a Division 1 school). I chose the Speedo over the Nike polyester because the Speedo has a more conservative fit. Before pregnancy I always wore the "Nike Swim Polyester Cutout Tank Top" because I like the cut much better and Nike is unlined (or at least before that I read reviews that they might have changed that). I felt a little more humbled as my body changed. If you're not used to Nike's skimpy buttock coverage, these Speedos are probably your best option. I ordered a few sizes up from my usual size to allow for the expansion of my stomach. I usually wear size 30 but I chose 34 and it fits me at 27 weeks. Of course if I use it it will give, but I'm not sure if it will last up to 40 weeks (or I will actually train after 40 weeks). If I had to order a maternity suit again I would probably ditch the polyester suit because they have less of a chance with Lycra. I've been really trying to find a proper maternity training suit, but there's nothing that doesn't have a ton of extra fabric (and I don't need more drape than I already have, thanks a lot). All maternity suits look like they were made for women 60+. I'm really very disappointed that Nike or Speedo haven't tried to do something to fill this gap as every doctor I speak to says swimming is a great form of exercise during pregnancy! Cut (not too small below) and a tight suit. It has a lining (many polyester suits don't have this). It's durable and should last a lot longer than a lycra suit and doesn't fade nearly as quickly. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope you find it helpful in your purchase decision.
