It's a good swimsuit for laps but usually I'm a size 0 street and the size 4 was pretty tight in the bottom and not a super flattering cut...but for laps, it stays on and is perfect so can't complain. I had another Nike two piece maybe 8 years ago that was awesome - fit like a glove and had a flattering fit. This one is not like that one but for laps, it does the job very well.

I'm usually a 2 in woman's clothing so I ordered a 6, as recommended and it was still too small for me. Also, in the picture the swim suit looks purple but it is actually a royal blue.

Sizing is off. Suit runs about 2 sizes small. Glad I listened to the previous reviews & ordered a couple sizes larger. I am 5'6 & 150lbs and would normally order an 8 but a size 12 fit me perfectly. Very flattering for a long torso & athletic build. perfect for those of us that want a 2-piece but don't want a string bikini. I'm a little bustier too & the top seems to hold 'the girls' in securely! Also, I was very impressed with how quickly I received my order. I placed my order at 3:30pm on Tuesday & had my order in hand by 3:00pm on Wednesday. Very impressed! Very happy!

I love the way the suit fits and the fact that it stays in place. In clothes, I normally wear size 4 or 6. I ordered a size 10 for this suit and it's perfect.

As others have said, this suit has a true competitive swimming fit. That said, I only went up one size because it is supposed to be more snug than the average bikini. I'm typically a size 2, but sometimes a 0. I am about 114 pounds, B-cup and the size 4 is perfect. The 6 was way too big/borderline saggy on bottom.

I am 5'4, 115 pounds, 34C bust and usually wear a size 2. This suit is so small. I really think that it would only be flattering on a serious athlete. The top was SO snug (and I have a small frame), size 10 tried on and it totally dug into my neck, shoulders etc. I was looking for something modest and sporty to wear to water parks w/my kids etc. This did not fit the bill for my lifestyle! Easy returns with Zappos tho!

I have a Nike one piece that is a size 10 (I'm normally a 2 or 4). It works well, but the chest is a little big because I have more in the bottom than I do up top. So I knew when I ordered the size 10 two piece the bottom would be great and the top would be a bit big. That is the case, but it's not something that makes me want to return it. The top will still stay on since it's a sports bra style and I'm more about making the bigger part of my body fit better. Haven't tested it in the pool yet but I love the one piece, so I expect them to be similar. I wish we could mix and match sizes like regular bikinis!

Do not ignore the advice of other reviewers who recommend that you purchase several sizes larger than what you would normally wear. I am 5'3" and about 110 pounds and I ordered a size 10. It fits perfectly. I have never ordered a Nike suit before but it feels great. I cannot wait to wear it this summer.

Really amazing suit. Like other buyers, I found it to run too small. I do not have narrow hips, I'm pretty proportional, and I found that I had to go 3 sizes larger (from 4 to 10). I tried the 8 and it was way too tight around my hips. It appears to me: narrow hips and small chest equals 2 sizes larger. Anything else equals 3 sizes larger. I've been loving it since I got the right size: comfortable and it doesn't slide off when you swim fast.

Really happy that I read other people's reviews and got two sizes larger than my actual size. I got this bathing suit for swimming lessons with my 8 month old daughter. It's great - stays in place, don't have to worry about adjusting it all the time. I am usually a size 8 but I am in between a 8 and a 10 with my last 10 baby pounds. So I ordered a size 14 and it fits well. Overall it's a good "do anything" bathing suit.

I don't think this suit runs small. I sized up one size and it was almost too big...the bottoms are a little more higher rise than we are used to in standard bikini bottoms, but I want a little more coverage for lap swimming. 5ft 8in, 140 lbs and size 10 worked for me but a size 8 might have been better. Love how comfortable the straps are.

Everyone says to order larger sizes on here. I am 5'4", weigh 128 pounds, athletic build with a medium frame, and am a size 5/6. I read through the reviews of people saying they are a size 6 and ordered a size 10 and it fits great. The suit fits different wet than dry! A size 10 was way too big and practically came off me in the pool. My friend is 5'6", weighs 134 pounds and has a smaller frame and she ordered a size 8. I tried it on and swam a couple of laps. I still feel the size 8 is too big! I love the look and feel of the suit, so I will be exchanging my order for my actual size, size 6.

Holy cow! You people weren't kidding! I usually wear an 8 & an occasional 10. I kept the 14, & it is a little smaller than I would like. It is a good motivator to hit the gym/pool!

This swimsuit is perfect for laps in the pool - it stays in place and is made of thick, durable fabric. However, it runs extremely small. I usually wear a size 4/6, so ordered a size 8 after reading others reviews on here. The 8 was still too tight so I had to exchange them for a 10. Also, I am very small chested and the 10 is still quite tight on the bust so I can't imagine how others could fit into this comfortably. Apart from the very strange sizing, it's a great swimsuit.

Beware of sizing! I wear size 8 in this swimsuit, and I'm 5'4" and 115lbs. I normally wear 2-4 in other clothes. Other than sizing being funny, I really like this swimsuit. It's comfortable, and it holds everything in very nicely. It's attractive but not overly sexy or revealing. It's held up well after a cruise and other hot-tub and swimming adventures.

Great suit, but runs small. I'm 5'3", 125lbs and got an 8, but usually wear a size 2 or 4. The 8 is snug but fits well. I like it because I have two little boys and when we go to the beach or pool they can hang on me without pulling it off. This is definitely an athletic suit so if you are looking for something to accentuate curves this isn't it. Definitely flattens out your chest.

I'm very pleased with this swimsuit. After reading other reviews, I ordered a full two sizes larger. Perfect fit. Yes, it does run small, especially on top.

I love this suit. I got it for swimming laps, I hate 1 piece suits so this one is perfect. It stays in place while swimming and is super comfy. But order at least 3-4 sizes up, the sizing is way off. I am 5'8" 130 lbs, very fit, and I ordered a size 10 and it fits perfectly.

I love this suit! The color is great, and I like that it's just a 'basic' style. It is a little snug, but you want it to be if you're using it for lap swimming! I'm usually a 4-6 and I got an 8 and am very happy with it. I've done laps in it and it was super comfortable! I'm small chested (34B), with an athletic build (5'7 at 130). Based on other reviews, I ordered 2 sizes (8 and 10) and returned the 10 because the 8 fit perfectly!

Like it. I did get the L and I am 5' 6, 134lbs, about a 34D. It fits great. Once I got over the fact that I was wearing a L, I liked the suit.

Very nice and comfortable swim suit. I ordered this one size up in 10 and it fits good. I swim in the ocean every day and the only downside is that it gathers some algae in the mesh inside the top. There is a gap from above.

Whoa. Other reviewers are not kidding when they suggest that you go up 2-3 sizes. According to the Nike size chart I should be a 4 (5'4", 117 lbs, 32B, 37" hip). I ordered an 8 and a 10. The 8 was ridiculously small. The 10 was okay, but when they say hi-cut brief, they mean 1980s hi-cut brief (despite the image looking more like it sits on the hip). I don't care for hi-cut suits so I returned this one.

Love this swimsuit! Like some of the previous reviewers, I do not like one piece suits because they are uncomfortably short feeling. I am 5'6" and 125 lbs (and 32A-34b). I ordered a 4 because I usually wear a 2-4 in clothes. Had to send it back for a 6 which was still a little snug at first but it fits great after a few wears! Very comfortable!

I bought this suit to use for swim training for a mini triathlon. I have a long torso so it is hard to find comfortable one piece suits. This is very comfortable and I get tons of compliments on it. My only complaint is that there is no lining/padding on the top and it can be a tad bit see through. I learned that the hard way when I came out of the ocean and my daughter informed me! But I do love the suit and recommend it.

All the other reviews say to size up. If you are a pear shape like me, you need a size down on top and a size up on bottom. I'm a 34a/32b and I got a 6 because of the reviews, and while on bottom that was the right choice (I usually wear a 2-4 in jeans and the bottoms are a little snug), for lap swimming which is what I bought this for, I'd prefer a snugger fit up top so if you are a 34a/32b a 4 might be better.
