Just right for the pool

Yes, I recommend this

I ordered this swimsuit for my beach holiday but It as the M and S description suggested - very suitable for wearing when doing lengths of the pool. I usually wear plain swimwear in the pool. I am really pleased with this alternative.

Bargain!

Yes, I recommend this

I have recently taken up aqua aerobics and my usual bandeau swimsuits weren’t supportive enough. I got this costume in the sale, £12, what a bargain! It fits perfectly, is very flattering and gives the support I need when jumping up and down. Recommended.

Brilliant for swimming

Yes, I recommend this

Even though the costume is described as secret slimming it is not like some which are difficult to get on and off, The fabric is quite soft but gives support, I wore it to a spa day and it was brilliant in the pool, jacuzzi, sauna etc. Washed well.

Disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

I had hope this would have been a better fit but while it was true to size it was not the most flattering swim suit. The cups just didn't seem to do their job but flattened instead of lifting.

Sooooo comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

Love this costume. I have a big chest and the fact that the neckline on this is higher I feel it is more flattering and supports well. The costume is on the large side and my only slight dissatisfaction is that the tummy doesn’t have a tummy control panel to keep things flatter! Still live it though!

Good for Aquafit

Yes, I recommend this

I am already using one of these for Aquafit classes. This style is very good for exercising in. I was delighted to get another in the half price sale. The full price is a bit too much , especially as I need at least two per year. This one has kept its colour a lot better than the ones I bought last year.

Bought this costume as I’ve started early morning swimming. Wanted a one piece that provided good coverage, good support and style. This costume scores on all points.

Great swimsuit let down by an awful pattern

Yes, I recommend this

The swimsuit fits perfectly and is excellent for lap swimming. I just can't stand the pattern. Also, the white sections have bits of grey in them which make the fabric look dirty (it's not - it's just grey parts of the pattern). I bought this because it was the only active swimsuit available in my size and I needed one urgently as my old one had torn. I wish the patterns on the active swimsuits were more elegant. Now that I have it, I wear the swimsuit lap swimming every day - I just can't bear to look at the pattern in the mirror.

Best fit swimsuit

Yes, I recommend this

This is the second one of this style I have bought as it is an excellent fit with good control panels. It does keep its colour but (and a big but!) it loses its elasticity much faster than I’d hoped - not sure how long it’s supposed to last when used for regular pool swimming but I will be keeping the receipt this time round.

I love this swimsuit. It is so flattering for an older lady. Love the good length and high neckline. The wide straps are also very comfortable. Best swimsuit I’ve bought for years.

Not generous enough across bust

No, I don't recommend this

I love M&S swimming costumes and ordered this costume in a few sizes, confident 1 would fit. Unfortunately, even a larger size than normal, still wasn’t generous across the bust or longer in the body. Very disappointed and sent back for a refund.
