    Can you lovely women recommend a suit that holds up well in the pool and hold up the girls equally as well?

    thanks!

    I believe the polyester suits hold up better in chlorine than the nylon suits. My nylon suits seem to fade and breakdown within a couple of months. I got a Speedo Endurance (polyester) suit and it is not showing any signs of wear over the past two months. They are pricey (MSRP $84), but you can get them for less if you search online. I lucked out and found mine at TJMaxx for $20

    Those polyester/"Durafast" ones tend to last a good long time (I've had mine for a year or two, though I only swim about once every week or two), but as for support, they are lacking. I've given up hope and stuck with the Durafast suits. I figure the girls can handle the gravity factor, when I'm in water.

    Polyester is definitely the way to go in the pool.

    My 2 favorites are Tyr and Finis. You can find the Tyr suits for $39 at www.trizone.com and possibly a few others. The Finis suits are www.finisinc.com. Right now they're having a sale. The suits are $24.95. Usually they're @ $40.

    That would be a good one. The ones with the wider straps would also work well.
