TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit Women's Swimsuit - Durable (Style 2TMT)

In this review of the TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit women's swimsuit, the bottom line is clear: this suit is built for swimmers who need long-lasting, chlorine-resistant performance without sacrificing comfort. It is ideal for swim team practice, lap swimming, and frequent pool use because the Durafast Elite textile combines polyester strength with spandex stretch, delivering a snug, secure fit that retains color and shape even after many hours of chlorine exposure. The suit feels supportive when wet and provides UPF 50+ sun protection for outdoor training.

Key Features

• Durafast Elite fabric: The high denier polyester and circular knit construction provide superior chlorine resistance and long-term color retention for over 300 hours of use.
• Comfortable fit: The medium neckline, flexible straps and moderate cut leg give reliable coverage while allowing full range of motion during strokes and turns.
• Keyhole back: The keyhole back design balances security and breathability so the suit stays in place during sprints and practices.
• Lined for freshness: The internal lining helps reduce odor and adds to the suit's long-lasting wear after repeated swims and washes.
• Fabric blend: The 94% polyester and 6% spandex mix keeps a comfortable hold on the body while keeping the suit lightweight and quick to recover shape.

Who It's For

The TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit is best for competitive swimmers, swim team members, and regular lap swimmers who want a one-piece that endures frequent chlorine exposure and keeps its color. Athletes who value a secure, performance-oriented cut with a medium neckline and moderate leg will appreciate the balance of coverage and mobility.

Swimmers seeking a fashion-forward, high-cut or highly padded leisure suit should look elsewhere, as this model prioritizes durability and function over fashion details or heavy shaping. Also, shoppers who need precise sizing guidance should be aware that the suit fits snug when dry and may require trying a size for the preferred wet fit.
