Review on ๐Ÿ‘™ Speedo Women's Power Plus Kneeskin Solid Adult Team Colors One Piece Swimsuit by Timothy Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Attractive and durable

I don't swim competitively and this is the first technical suit I've bought. Although I didn't buy it to increase swim speed, my activity tracker shows a steady increase in average swim speed; I went from averaging 0.7 mph to averaging 0.9 mph. (Not Missy Franklin I know.) Not being interested in compression I ordered a size up and am glad I did. This suit was difficult to put on the first time you tried it on; Pulling a narrow chest over wide hips is difficult. But two weeks later it is fairly easy to string. I have a large chest and this shows more chest than I would like, more so than other hipster suits I wear. This might not be a problem for someone smaller than C. The biggest problem I have with this suit is the problem I have with all Speedo suits: they take a long time to wear. I'm 5ft 3" and I think the suit would fit better if I was an inch taller. I need some extra fabric along the length and this fabric puckers. I was concerned that these creases would induce drag, but since I'm seeing an increase in speed I don't think that's the case. Overall it looks good, seems well made and improves my swimming. Despite the length problem I would order it again. And yes, I've read that people have a problem with tech suits showing through. This one is not through.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Almost never
