swimming distance in fresh water in summer months. I haven't tried it out since I live in upstate NY, where the lake is frozen! But, I know it will be great.

This top is great. It's cute and stylish and hides my tummy spots.

I LOVE how this fits! For reference, I'm a 34C and the medium fits great. It is snug but not tight in the rib cage, which I like because I know it won't fall down. The coverage is perfect for me, not too much, not too little. Good for the beach but I think I'll actually be able to swim some laps in it too -- it won't be my lap suit, but my last tankini just kept drooping down and I had to keep tugging it up. Love the Anchor Oasis color, too, which goes with any navy bottom.

Literally THE best tankini I have every purchased. Fit is great, it does not ride up and it gives great coverage. It's a mix of sporty and cute!
I purchased a medium and I am a typical size 8 with a 36DDD chest, 5'9" tall.

Great swim top. I am 5'4", 138 lbs, 34C. Medium fits me best. It is comfortably long enough and supports nicely in the chest. I also tried the small which was way too small/tight. I bought 2 Michael Kors swim bottoms in bright red and turquoise which really look nice with this top.

I've been searching for YEARS for a swimsuit that actually fit me well, and this is it! I'm 5'6" and 127 pounds, and since I'm a 36A chest, swimsuits always gap if they have built-in cups. I got a medium, and it fit smoothly with no gaps, and the body of it was snug but not tight. Loved it so much I bought another one!

This is just the fit I was looking for! It is neither too constricting nor too loose. I am 40, two kids, no bikinis for me. While I am a size 8 in clothes (small chest), I always size in swim suits for comfort. I do not like bathing suits that suck you in because I feel like it just squeezes the jiggle elsewhere & is uncomfortable! This feels like wearing a cami which I love! Definitely sticking with this brand!

I'm a 34D and weigh 125lbs. I ordered a medium and am pleased with how it fit, overall. The top is long, which I like. The chest fits as well as I could expect with something non-underwire. It's not so flattering around the tummy, though...it's loose enough to look sort of "messy," but tight enough to show off any flaws. I think I'm going to end up wearing this a lot. The fabric is great - so soft and comfortable. It's definitely a suit to do things in.

It fits well. I haven't worn it in the water yet (it is the middle of winter still!) but I put it on and stretched into every contortionist position I could imagine ending up in chasing my toddler around and it didn't ride up or gap. I am 5'7" and thin (110 lbs) and I got the extra small.

I ordered several tankinis and one-pieces from this site, and this top was the winner! I wanted something sporty and comfortable yet flattering, nice enough to feel good in yet modest enough to hang out in with the extended family. I am 5'9" athletic build and a 34DD chest - I was worried that this wouldn't work well since my chest tends to spill out of the sides and/or top of a lot of sportier suits. It actually has some bust support, and the body is tight enough not to ride up while swimming. My husband agreed that this one was the best, too!

Loving the Catalina Tankini! This is light and stretchy, so I don't feel like I'm wrapped in an ace bandage. Very comfortable. I wanted something that was good uncomplicated coverage so I don't need to worry about wardrobe malfunctions when snorkeling, etc. This Tankini stays put and is really cute. I have a fairly small chest, so I don't know how it would work for you if you're needing support. Sizing? I'm 5'5", wide-ish shoulders and long-ish torso, 125 lbs. A medium worked best for me.

Fits beautifully and very comfortable. I especially like the strap arrangement. Fabric has enough body so it hangs nicely and not to tight or clingy.

I bought this suit for a trip to Florida last month. Had not quite whittled away the winter and wanted something with style but fluid. This was perfect! The fabric had a fluid drape and the skirted bottoms and board shorts were just the right mix for a week of pool and beach. Never heard of this line before but Zappos never fails to provide a broad selection of choices. I would absolutely recommend this suit ensemble!

Best tankini I tried on, it is so comfortable, and light and I love the material. It looks great on and I have a large bust and bust looks smaller. It is perfect and I am very picky! I love it, wish there were more colors to order!

This is a comfortable tankini, it works well for the small chested ladies. It is lightly padded, but does not add any size. I'm 5'4, 115lbs and the small fits great and stays in place.

I loved this top but I had to send mine back. I fall between a Medium and a Large. I got this in the medium b/c large wasn't available and it was just barely too small. If it had adjustable straps it might have made a big difference. Had to send it back b/c it was just too snug in the chest (38C).

Fit pretty well after removing the pads. There is a little hole to take them out and a shelf bra, elastic is slightly tight and I may try to modify- I got a medium and it is snug but not too tight. I am 5'3 and 125lbs, chest 33". My only complaint is the length is about 3" longer than I would wish for. On the bright side, this will pair with almost any color bottoms-(the matching ones were sold out) It looks good with black, white, brown, pink, high leg as well as boy shorts. Love

I love the top - great style and fit. It just was a darker color than what's shown in the picture and didn't match the way I thought it would. Wish I'd taken a picture to show for comparison but already sent it back. I'm 5'4", 116 lbs and ordered the small.
