Arena Womens Arena Performance Women's Icons Super Free Back Training Swimsuit

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I swim for exercise and the Arena brand is a good quality brand. I have 4 other Arena swimsuits. The arena brand holds up very well. I wash my suits every time I wear them. This suit is so cute!! I'm 5'5" 165lbs and bought size 42. The size 40 was tight over my shoulders and not comfortable so I sized up.

Arena being Arena - top top quality. Daughter loves the fuller back.

Very comfortable. The fabric is the best part. It isn’t like standard swimsuit material where the spandex can disintegrate over time. It’s stretchy without being overly thick. I’m curvy and it does a great job smoothing out my trouble sections.

I'm really confused why if I wear a 34 in other arena suits, why this 34 would be way too big. I would have had to order a 32 or maybe a 30 for this to fit. Overall I don't like the style, I don't like the color, and the material is different than I'm used to. I'm used to wearing a suit that feels like a second skin. That is NOT this suit. It is more on the stiffer side. The blue trim/webbing felt awkward. The back does offer a lot more coverage and overall the suit is very supportive. If you like the color schema, they are very bright and true to the photos. At the end of the day when you are swimming 2+ hours per day, 6 days a week, you have to love the suits you wear. This was a hard pass for me but I'm sure some will love this suit. Arena is a solid brand and really it comes down to preference.

I am a former lifeguard who spent MANY hours a day wearing a swimsuit. Arena has always been one of my favorite brands (my swim bag and goggles are Arena) so I was very excited to try this suit. I will start by saying that I am taller (5'9) and have gained weight since my swimming days. I also unfortunately carry most of my weight in my stomach, which makes it difficult to find one piece suits that fit. This suit is a little small for me right now, but I could absolutely see this being one of my favorites once I lose a few pounds. I appreciate the full coverage bottom (so many suits look like they are giving wedgies these days!). I also appreciate the thin straps as I prefer that to max back styles. The color combination is unique and fun, perfect for summer. Non-swimmers may not recognize this brand, but I can assure you that this is a quality suit that is built to last. Hopefully my pictures help give a realistic picture of what this suit looks like on a non-athletic body!

It's is very nice and fits perfecto. My daughter height Is 158 CM AND weighs 55 Kg. I ordered size 32 but un the label shows as 30

Daughter actually liked it. So I would say that is a win

I swim laps most every day, usually for 75 minutes lately. This is my first ever Arena suit - it compares well to my usual TYR suits. The fit is listed as a ‘super free back’ and seems somewhat similar to a TYR ‘diamond fit’. I've been mostly wearing a ‘max fit’ - which has wider straps and a bit more coverage on the bottom. According to the size chart I’m somewhere between a 30 and 32 - the 30 fit nicely in this style so I’m glad I didn’t size up, as these kind of suits usually stretch out with use and I wear them until they are stretched out beyond usefulness! I’m about the same size in other brands and whether I’m 30 or 32 can depend on the style - it all comes down to becoming familiar with a brand’s fit in each style. Gave this suit a workout this morning and I enjoyed the thinner strap style - it’s less constrictive for range of motion than a wider strap style, but I’d prefer a bit more coverage at the neckline to avoid any cleavage at all showing when out of the water - so this wouldn’t be my style choice for an outdoor pool or beach trip. That’s just a personal preference- those with less to cover at the bust area may not find this an issue at all. The photo of the model shown is a great indicator of fit for the style of coverage on the bottom - it’s not super modest - (doesn’t cover the whole bum) - but provides good range of motion. The orange is much more vibrant after the suit is wet - which I really like - and the suit is fully lined so no worries there! I also really like that the label snips off easily - so the label isn’t an ongoing annoyance. The fabric is listed as having at least 50% recycled content - good on that - and it’s labeled as chlorine resistant. This is the most interesting feature to me after fit - because switching to chlorine resistant fabrics has made a huge difference in the life of my suits - they are definitely worth the extra cost when swimming laps every day. I have high hopes for the durability of this suit… time will tell…!

Me gustó como se ve el corte, es muy elegante al llegar a la alberca. Me encantó que la tela es suave y resistente al cloro.

Un traje con un corte bonito y elegante. La tele Sueve y lo que me encantó es que es maxlife (muy resistente al cloro).

Exelente calidad, me quedo perfecto.
