Review on TYR Sport Square Short Black by Michael Mayes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Comfortable swimsuit with medium square legs.

I am a fitness swimmer who averages 8,000 to 10,000 meters per week in 4 or 5 strokes. I bought these hoping they would be comfortable and durable. Well, they're certainly comfortable, but after about 100 hours in the pool, they started to fade and stretch. I replaced them with a square leg TYR Durafast Elite suit that claims to be exposed to chlorinated water for many hours. If you're an inexperienced swimmer then that should be fine - if you're a frequent pool swimmer you might be better off spending a little more on your suit and opting for a more durable version. UPDATE: About 5 months old now. I am wearing a DURAFAST ELITE square leg suit. After about 75 hours of use, it worked well. Really strong suit. Worth the extra money especially if you are a regular lap swimmer.

Pros
  • Excellent overall results
Cons
  • Poor instructions
