Speedo Solid Ultraback Moderate 18 Blue

2024-11-07T23:10:10

This is the ONLY swimming suit I have found over 10 years that I find that I like for lap and general swimming. The back with its crossed straps but WITHOUT the ridiculous cutout of the lower back is perfect, and the moderate leg cutouts are perfect as well-not too high and not the lower conservative leg cutouts which look dorky. This is at least my 4th purchase of this suit and I will continue to buy it as long as Speedo continues to make them, which I hope is forever.

Fabric is good, fit is good except the darn leg opening. It is too low, conservative and restricts movement. A little higher cut would be so much more comfortable and flattering. Not too big, but just not this 1950's look.

I am in the pool everyday as I have knee replacements that need exercising and range of motion work ! This suit is not only stylish, it's durable as well. I am 68 years old and a size 14, I feel comfortable and confident wearing this at the local Y. I do find that using the "suit spinners" are NOT good for this or any suit if you are looking to have them in good shape for a few months ! Please don't consider "spinner" comment a negative re the suit....just a helpful hint to keep this suit looking great for a longer time !! Patti The Dancer

I swim laps at the local YMCA several times per week. This bathing suit is chlorine resistant and lasts a long time compared to other bathing suits where the high chlorine content in indoor pools literally eats up the suit.

True to size. Quick drying and very comfortable.

I swim daily and love this suit. The back straps keep the shoulder straps from slipping off my shoulder.

I swim laps 4times/week in an indoor pool. I love the moderate ultra back style but would prefer the endurance + material. I have bought 3 of those and they hold up very well with continuous wear. I am still on the fence about the PowerFLEX material. I have only used it twice because I rotate my swimsuits. I will not be happy if this material does not hold up well. I will give it time and see if it does, then I can say 5 stars and I would recommend it to a friend.

I tried a couple of other styles but I went back to this classic because my original one lasted two years with frequent "summer" use. I swim laps and find this suit comfortable and attractive enough for a practical suit.

Wish you made a petite for shorter-waisted women with conservative cut. How about a red one, brighter colors?

While most Speedo suits are for smaller, flat-chested women, this one is the perfect suit for those of us with larger, curvy figures. I followed the size chart and ordered the suit closest to my measurements. It's one size larger than my usual dress size (dress size 12, I ordered a 14 suit), and it fits beautifully! Very comfortable, does not ride up. Perfect for snorkeling or swimming laps.

I love this suit. It's great for lap swimming, comfortable, survives chlorine very well, and dries quickly in the car (I am always ready to swim!). It's also great for ocean swimming, fitting securely and comfortably through big waves. It fits me well, easy on and off. Very practical, good looking suit, high quality. Mine last a couple of years - eventually the rough texture of my local hot tub seat wears or else the elastic gives up eventually.

Excellent coverage for lap swimming. Material seems strong and hopefully will hold up to clorine.

This suit fits better that I had expected. With the suit size finder, I was able to get a custom fit.

Love the suit, but I am disappointed it didn't last longer. Bought this in purple in mid February 2019 and today June 21, 2019 the spandex lining is all frayed and shot with white fibers showing through, so I only got 4 months use out of it. Have to throw it away, can't be worn again. I lap swim 3 to 4 times a week., but I alternate suits, so it should have lasted longer. Suit was made in Sri Lanka. Really SPEEDO? For the price, please do better.

I swim laps 3-4 times a week. This suit holds up to the chemicals and constant use. It fits well. I actually purchase a size smaller because I like a snug fit swimming laps.

This suit doesn't slip off my shoulder or expose my chest. It's a bit tighter from shoulder to groin, but after a few swims, it does loosen. This is my second set of 3 with this suit, and I'm pretty happy. I expect it to last a year, and hopefully, it will still be around the next time I need another set.

I have bought this suit many times. It is modest but very functional for swimming laps, indoors and outside. The teal color is my favorite so far.

I swim for a work out and to help my rehab after hip surgery. I swim 1-2 times a week and was looking for a suit which covered me well, had durable fabric, and comfortable to wear during a work out.

I love the cut of the suit, I like how sturdy and well constructed the suit is. The straps are very secure and feel well placed on my back to maximize comfort and range of motion when swimming laps. The coverage is exactly what is advertised, and the way it sits on my legs doesn't pinch but is also snug to prevent slipping when doing wide kicks. My only one complaint is that for an athletic suit, the bust is surprisingly loose! I'm not particularly well-endowed in the chest region even though I'm a curvier gal (38B), so it's frustrating that the chest on the suit sags and gaps around my armpits. WHY do only skinny girls or super bust girls get nice tight suits on their bust??? I just want to feel held in and supported! Is that so much to ask from an athletic provider? Oh well. I can see that as I've already started losing weight in my hips and bust the size 18 started to sag. Maybe I should have tried a size down. I wear a pants size 16 and dress 16/18 and I figured that a 18 would be safe for a tight swimsuit. Pretty dang true to size on bust measurements, so order appropriately! I hope this suit lasts a long time because I love everything else about it. I'm 5'5'', 210 lbs, and have wide hips/butt/legs. The seam up the butt is flattering and sometimes a little wedgie-annoying, by the way.

My 85 year old mom was having trouble taking her swimsuit on and off but this suit was manageable and made it easier for her to continue being in the water. A big thanks for a perfect gift.

Almost daily lap swimmer. This is my go-to suit as it covers a lot and doesn't chafe as much as others. In the last 9 1/2 years of swimming, I have had about 6 of these a year, the blue suits fade quickly and they both start popping latex after 4-6 weeks. I dislike a saggy baggy suit as they chafe and drag during my long swims so I replace them after about 2 months. Sometimes they come fully lined, sometimes they don't. I would love to see some different colors in this style.

The suit is elegantly designed and fits well EXCEPT the leg opening is terribly big and baggy both front and back

Needed a good chlorine resistant swim suit with a modest fit. At 55+, low cut out back was not an option. I swim 3x a week and the suit has held up well. It holds me in during water aerobics. Initially, I bought 2 suits and went back for a 3rd suit to rotate out. The suit has a slimming fit. Not difficult to get on or off.
