Advantages: Practical, affordable, comfortable.

Disadvantages: Plain.

These Speedo swimming togs are about as basic as you get in a regular training swimmer. They come in subdued tones like black and navy blue and have only the minimal speedo logo in the centre of the chest. They certainly aren't flashy, but then they are affordable!

At 20 quid for the women's sizes, these are definitely amongst the most affordable swimmers that I could find online. Of course there are lots of other designs with bright patterns or slightly more unusual cuts, but they are up to and over double the price, and frankly I just don't think it's worth it. If all you're looking for are some comfortable swimmers for swimming laps in your local pool, then these are definitely worth thinking about.

The swimmers are made from a standard lycra, not the thicker chlorine-resistant stuff that has less elasticity, but the thin, flexible, comfortable lycra. Of course this does mean that they are not going to last as long as the chlorine resistant version. The fabric has only a minimal gloss on it, so is quite flattering on the body (not shining unflatteringly on any lumps and bumps!).

The leg on these Speedo Endurance swimmers is of a medium height, which I find just right, not being too granny-ish but nor requiring that you get a full brazilian before going swimming. They sit comfortably as well and do not seem to do any disappearing acts at the back, if you know what I mean. THey stay where they should be.

The top is comfortable, and flattering without being so low that the water drags every time you push off the wall of the pool. The straps are also small and thin at the back, being just the same width as at the front joined together. This is great as it means you won't end up with huge tan lines.

Basically, these swimmers are, in a nutshell, comfortable, functional, and affordable. Recommended.

Summary: Recommended.
