Solid Training Suit for Pregnancy
I bought this to train in during my pregnancy (I swam competitively in college at a Division 1 school). I went with Speedo over Nike polyester because Speedo is a more conservative cut. Pre-pregnancy, I would always go with "Nike Swim Polyester Cut-Out Tank" because I like the cut so so much better and the Nike is unlined (or atleast used to be, I've read reviews that they may have changed this). I was feeling a bit more modest as my body changed though. If you are not used to Nike's skimpy butt coverage, this Speedo is probably a better option for you. I ordered up a few sizes larger than my normal size as a result to allow for tummy expansion. I am normally a size 30, but went with a 34 and it fits me well at 27 weeks. As I use it, it will naturally give, but not sure if this will last until 40 weeks (or if I will actually be working out at 40 weeks). If I were to order a suit for pregnancy again, I'd probably steer away from a polyester suit because they have less give and go for something with lycra. I really tried to find an actual maternity suit to train in, but nothing exists that doesn't have tons of extra fabric(and I don't need any more drag than I already have, thank you very much). The maternity suits all look like they are made for women 60+. I am actually really disappointed that Nike or Speedo haven't attempted to make something to fill this void, since every doctor I speak to says swimming is such a great form of exercise during pregnancy! For non-pregnancy users, this is a good conservative cut (not too small on the butt) and durable suit. It does have a lining (many polyester suits do not). It is durable and should last a good deal longer than a lycra suit and will not fade nearly as fast. Thanks for taking the time to read my review, and I hope you found it helpful in making a purchase decision.
