TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit Women's Swimsuit - Durable (Style F5R4)

Our review of the TYR Durafast Elite Diamondfit women's swimsuit finds it best suited for swimmers who need a reliable, long-lasting one-piece for regular lap work and pool training. The single biggest reason to buy is the Durafast Elite fabric: a high denier polyester blend that stays colorfast and chlorine resistant for 300+ hours of use, so the suit keeps shape and hue through frequent swims. Fit and comfort are consistently praised, making it a practical choice for athletes who want a no-nonsense training suit that holds up over time.

Key Features

• Durafast Elite fabric: built from high denier polyester with circular knit construction to offer long-lasting colorfastness and chlorine resistance for extended use.
• Material blend: 94% Polyester and 6% Spandex combine the strength of polyester with enough stretch for comfortable movement during laps.
• Functional cut: medium neckline, sleek flexible straps, keyhole back and moderate leg cut deliver secure coverage without restricting stroke mechanics.
• Lining with odor protection: internal lining helps keep the suit feeling fresher for longer after repeated pool sessions.
• UPF 50+ sun protection: fabric provides reliable sun protection for outdoor training and practice sessions.

Who It's For

The Diamondfit is aimed at competitive and recreational swimmers who train frequently and need a durable, chlorineproof suit that keeps its color and fit. It works well for lap swimmers, masters swim participants and anyone who values a straightforward, performance-oriented one-piece rather than fashion-forward detailing.

Swimmers who prefer very high-cut legs, heavily padded suits, or fashion swimsuits with decorative elements may want to look elsewhere. Also, those seeking a suit with maximal compression for race-day tapering should consider specialized racing suits instead of this everyday performance model.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable, colorfast fabric holds up to frequent chlorine exposure and still feels supportive.
• Comfortable fit with enough stretch to swim laps without binding or chafing.
• Practical, modest cut with a keyhole back that balances coverage and freedom of movement.
• UPF 50+ and a lined interior for added sun protection and odor control.

Cons

• Sturdiness and exact cut receive mixed feedback, so fit can feel irregular for some body shapes.
• Not intended as a high-compression race suit, so competitive racers seeking maximal speed may prefer a different model.

Specifications
