In this review of the TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit swimsuit we look at who will benefit most from a chlorine-proof, competition-ready onepiece and why its durability stands out. The bottom line: this suit is for swimmers who need a reliable training or practice suit that holds its shape and color through heavy use. The review finds the combination of high denier polyester and circular knit construction gives a snug, supportive fit that stays put during laps while offering UPF 50+ sun protection and over 300 hours of chlorine resistance.
Key Features
- Durafast Elite fabric: High denier polyester blended with spandex provides longlasting color retention and resistance to chlorine for extended use.
- Circular knit construction: The knit delivers a comfortable, compressive hold that maintains shape without restricting movement in the water.
- Performance cut: A medium neckline, sleek straps, keyhole back and moderate leg cut balance coverage with freedom for stroke mechanics.
- Odor protection lining: Lining helps keep the suit fresh and reduces odor after repeated pool sessions.
- UPF 50+ protection: Fabric protects skin from sun exposure during outdoor training while remaining colorfast.
- Long lasting use: Constructed to sustain 300+ hours of use while preserving fit and color.
Who It's For
This suit is aimed at competitive swimmers, swim team members, and regular lap swimmers who need a onepiece that can tolerate frequent exposure to chlorinated water and still perform. Its snug dry fit and sturdy fabric make it ideal for athletes who prefer a secure, nofuss suit for daily practice rather than a fashion forward beach piece.
Swimmers who want a fashioncentric or loose casual suit, or those who need very highcut competition styles, should look elsewhere. Also, because some customers report mixed sizing impressions, those between sizes may prefer to try it on in person or check sizing carefully before purchase.

- Secure, comfortable fit that stays in place during laps and swim practice.
