TYRSport Women's Alliance T-Splice Maxfit Swimsuit

This is my third TYR swimsuit to own in this exact style and design. Part of that is my personality- I could eat oatmeal for breakfast everyday forever and be happy as a clam- but part of it (really most of it in this instance), is that I love quality products. I spend inordinate amounts of time researching my decisions, and when I find something that works well I stick with it. This is a high quality swimsuit that if you wash it promptly after using and dry flat it will last years of moderate usage. I mostly am a runner and swim as cross training (or when I am injured), so I am sure it would need to be replaced more often if you swim everyday. Regarding fit, it runs small, but all swimsuits do. You want it to fit tight when you first try it on. Tighter than you think!! It definitely stretches out over time. I had a 38 that fit me (I am around 5'2", 130 pounds) straight out of the box but it stretched a lot (especially after using over a year) and had an awkward few inches that hung down at the bottom. Reordered in a 34 and it was definitely tight first trying it on. I ALMOST exchanged sizes. But decided to test it out and am happy I stuck with the smaller size. Reduces drag in the pool and already feels comfortable to wear. The placement of these stripes really are flattering, even if you have an apple shaped figure (as I do). I appreciate this because so many patterns on swimsuits call attention to my body shape in a way I don't love. Swimsuits are already probably not a women's top choice of wear, so finding something that makes you feel confident is important. It is definitely quality and I appreciate the thicker straps on the back. Give it a try!

Ordered two different sizes with Amazon's "Try before you buy" option. Chose the better fit and very happy with style. Use exclusively for lap swimming at gym and is very comfortable. Super affordable, too!

The product looks and feels BEAUTIFUL but heed the reviews. This DOES NOT FIT like the same style TYR suit I purchased in a local retail shop!! I bought the same size I already own in this style and it was so tight that the back boobs it created by cutting into me was comical. I am ordering 2 sizes larger in hopes that it is closer to the suit I own. It looks and feels like the same TYR product and believe once I get a 38, I will be cutting through H20 like a champ! I'm 5'4" and 129lbs.Why the size difference? Who knows. Maybe that's why the pricing is so good. I think it's worth the trouble figuring out the right size. UPDATE: Ordered another suit. Clicked on the black and red suit and they sent me a blue and black. Kept it. Try clicking on the suit in my review :) Next suit will be a 36. This one was a bit large in the booty.

Fits nice and feels good, perfect fit

Good durable material, sizing and fit are as expected

Not true to size. Will be sending it back.

So I don't think one pieces are often very flattering, just the nature of the beast there. But I think that this is pretty flattering, with the higher-but-not-too-high cut of the legs, as well as the red swirl design.I will say that despite what some other reviews say that it is true to fit, I think that it runs small and here's why: I am pear shaped - my bottom is bigger than my top (I'm a 34A on top), but I wear a size 6 in pants and a 2 or 4 in dresses from the Gap, Banana Republic and JCrew. If memory serves, according to the sizing chart, I should wear a 32. Because I'm a pear, I actually went to a local store that was selling this suit for quite a bit more and tried on the sizes. A 32 technically fit, but it was tight and my body spilled out of it. Especially in the back, where there is a lower-back cut out at the top of the butt - that was not attractive in the smaller sizes (but again, I'm a pear and that's my problem area). The 36 still fits well without it being so tight I overflow in it. I realize that swimsuits seem to run small in general, as I typically go up a size in swimsuits overall. I'm thinking that maybe the other reviewers are used to this going up a size and didn't think of it, or maybe it's just because I'm a pear that I had this experience. I am not a swim-racer, so I am just going to the pool, swimming my laps, then playing in the water or reading poolside. But my advice is to go up a size or even two. The fabric is giving but not too giving, so I think there is a good amount of leeway you can do.It does not ride up in the back, no wedgies at all - not one, not even off the high dive! And the straps have not felt like they are going to fall down, much less actually fall down. It is very comfortable!!The fabric is great - it is lined and the lining is very nice because it smooths without being bulky. I feel like an athlete in the suit, but more like Serena Williams - stylish too!! It dries quickly and I've been in the water a lot this summer and it still looks brand new yet. I think that I will have this suit for years and years and years.

The suit is perfect. I'm giving it only 3 stars because I called the company and they told me to measure the bust for size, exactly what the bust is would be her size (in our case a 32). My daughter is 13, very skinny and average height. The size 32 was one size too small. We got the 34 and its perfect. Thick material, holds up great, fits great and very comfortable. We will never shop elsewhere for bathing suits.

This is my third TYR suit. They are super durable, fit A LOT tighter than a fashion swim suit but will stretch over time. Worth the money in my opinion

Excelente calidad

Demasiado pequeño la talla, pedí 36 y llegó como de 30

I loved the look of this swimsuit but was too small and they do not do a large size

I swim at least twice a week in chlorinated, salt and freshwater and I have bought TYR costumes for several years but lately the size 38 (which has always fitted) is now much too small (I haven't put on weight) and the costumes go baggy much sooner than previously. They are also very difficult for me to exchange living in a rural location with no easy pick-up spots and the bother of having to provide 3 copies of the invoice with each one. I am definitely looking at other brands now
