Where do you find your athletic bathingsuits?

[jeepgirl]

I have always loved to swim and am in need of a new "swimmers" bathingsuit (the kind good enough to last and swim laps in).

For the life of me, I can't remember where I bought my last one, or where to go looking for a new one.

If you have any good suggestions - please HELP!!!

TIA!

I usually get mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. I also have a couple from Sports Authority. Lady Foot Locker has them too.

L.L. Bean and Land'sEnd usually have good athletic cuts too.

We need LL Bean down here.

Definitely check out www.speedousa.com Their suits are divided into categories based on style/use and they even have a sale section. Cheap shipping too!

Thanks Fen and Heather! Since moving out of Orlando, I've found that there aren't any good sporting good stores less than 30-45 minutes away. I think I will see what I can find online from the places you both suggested. Thanks!

Dick's, Speedo on line and if you are really lucky Marshalls. I have gotten some Speedo Endurance suits there for $15. Oh also Swimoutlet.com

You know what? I do have a Marshall's in my town and, I'm thinking, I really should "try on" to make sure I have a fit I'm happy with. Torso lengths, material and cut make such a difference with these suits (I ordered a suit from athleta last year and the torso too long, although I usually fit a "regular" torso just fine). I'm gonna go check out my Marshall's. Then, if I have to order several suits online until I find the right one, I'll just do that. Thanks for the suggestions!

I think it is a good idea to try on first. I'll tell ya, on the boobage part-the sizing is awful. Those suits are SO TIGHT and they're not too comfortable on the chest! Let us know what you get.
