Panelled Speedy Swimsuit (5-14 Years)

The swimming costume was of excellent quality, good value for money and fitted well. The delivery process via the internet was smooth and trouble free and I will certainly be purchasing items again from M&S..

good purchase, I'll certainly buy some more swimming costumes.

As usual great quality item from M&S and to find a costume for a child which is cut lower around her legs is fantastic

I have bought the old version of this swimming costume for the last 2 years. They last a year, which is reasonable as they get used a great deal and chlorine is a killer for even the best quality cossie. This year they have this new thin strapped style but my daughter has put it on twice and taken it straight off because she finds it so uncomfortable! Today she had to wear it as she had left her other one at school but she hated it. It has a thick, uncomfortable seam right down the middle of her bottom and it was too wide and she felt water going through it, so was very self conscious when swimming in it. I am very frustrated as was so happy with the old design!

I know the swimming costume is a good price but I still did not expect it to go thin and lose its shape after only a few washes. So very disappointed as have been buying costumes quite regularly from you but now having to look elsewhere.

I had to return this, as one side under the arm was longer than the other so it gaped at the worst place across the chest. It would probably have sagged more in the water too. Liked the style though so maybe it was just a one off and bad luck I got this one delivered to me.

I ordered 2 sizes (8-9 & 9-10) as reviews suggested that sizes came up small. However the 8-9yrs was a good fit for my 8 and a half year old granddaughter, who does have a small build. This is just what she wanted for her swimming lessons and loves it!

Very happy with this item.

Good quality and value, I recommend going one size up though.

having read other reviews, bought size 12-13yr old which fitted my 11 year old perfectly - she's 6st11, and 4ft 11. The diagonal stripe is extremely flattering if your tweenie is becoming alittle self conscious - only bug bear is that it got a little baggy in the bottom when wet. great price.
