I've been swimming laps for 25 years but wanted something nicer than my lap suits to wear to the beach. I'm 67, in good shape, but don't want to show too much skin. I couldn't decide what size to order, so in spite of the Calving Klein measurement chart I ordered my usual size, an 8. I wear a 36 in
Tyr, my favorite lap suits. When I reread the reviews I was afraid this suit would be too small based on the measurements, but it is perfect. A larger size would have been too big for sure. I love this suit and look forward to wearing it at the beach. The fabric is stretchy and the suit is very comfortable and quite flattering.
