I have purchased several of these swimsuits for swimming laps. They are very good quality, and they work well for my purposes. They are very good, comfortable material, and they wear and rinse well. They don’t fade, although I don’t usually wear them outside in the sun. But, they don’t fade from chlorine. I use them as lap suits, and they’re great for that purpose. It takes quite a while before they start to stretch out from use. I have purchased several of these, and I will purchase them again.
