In this review of the TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit Swimsuit, the bottom line is simple: this onepiece is built for regular lap swimmers and swim team athletes who need a durable, colorfast suit that holds shape under heavy chlorine exposure. The reviewer found it comfortable when worn wet, stays in place while swimming, and delivers long life thanks to TYR's Durafast Elite textile and UPF 50 protection, making it a practical investment for frequent pool use and outdoor training.
Key Features
- Durafast Elite fabric: High denier polyester knit resists chlorine and maintains color so the suit lasts through hundreds of hours of use.
- Chlorine proof construction: Materials and circular knit design prevent deterioration from repeated pool exposure for reliable performance.
- UPF 50 sun protection: Blocks ultraviolet radiation for safer outdoor training sessions without sacrificing flexibility.
- Comfortable fit: Medium neckline, flexible straps and keyhole back offer secure coverage while allowing full range of motion for strokes and turns.
- Lining with odor protection: Interior lining helps control odor and extend time between washes so the suit stays feeling fresh.
- Moderate cut leg: Provides coverage without weighing the swimmer down, suitable for training and competitive practice.
Who It's For
This swimsuit is aimed at women who swim regularly for fitness, lap work or team practice and want a lowmaintenance suit that keeps its color and shape. The combination of durable polyester and spandex gives enough stretch for competitive moves while resisting the wear and fading that often shortens a suit's life.
Swimmers who prioritize fashion trends, very high cut competitive cuts, or who need extensive custom fit options may want to look elsewhere. Also, because some customers report a snug dry fit, those between sizes should consider trying on in person or consulting sizing guidance before buying.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Excellent longterm durability and color retention under frequent chlorine exposure.
- Comfortable and secure fit in the water, staying put during laps and turns.
- Builtin UPF 50 and odorresistant lining add practical outdoor and maintenance benefits.
Cons
- Sizing can feel snug when dry, so some swimmers may need to size up or try on before purchase.
