Like the sportiness of this suit. Does run very small however. I wear a size 4 but ordered the bottoms in a size 10 based on other reviews and it's still a bit snug!

This is my third Nike sport two piece and I love them. The first two, however were size 10s (I'm normally a size 2-4 but these run pretty small), but this version was too small in the 10. (In the butt). I ended up returning and ordering the 12, which fits well. A little looser than I'd like in the chest, but it fits the bottom much better. I swim 1-2 times a week and wash my suit after each use. So the one thing I don't like about these is they tend to thin out pretty quickly. I didn't realize there was an exchange program through Zappos until today so I had to buy this again and then return.

I am 5'4", 125 pounds, bust is 34B,and wear about a size 6 jeans - athletic build (big bum, no chest). I ordered a size 10. The top was tight enough, but had no padding, and was too loose for someone with a mostly flat chest. The bottoms were too tight and the crotch is really long and sagged. I think a size or two lower for the top and a size higher for the bottoms might work for other body types. The material and color were perfect. I just wish it would have fit.

I don't write reviews. Actually this is my first review but I couldn't help myself this time. I'm 5.2" and 120 pounds. I wear size 6 on Nike cut out tank one piece swimsuit. After reading the reviews, I ordered sizes 8 and 10, one and two sizes up as everyone was suggesting. However, I had to return both of them and get size 6 which fit perfectly. Apart from one review, I didn't understand why everyone wrote it's too small sized, in my case it was true to size. Overall I'd definitely recommend this 2 piece swimsuit. It's a nice change from one piece swimsuits and it keeps everything in place. Very comfortable swimming laps. I've been wearing it for 3 weeks now, 4 days a week, so I can't tell how long it will last but looks good so far.

Great suit, but we ordered a size 4, my daughter wears a size 2. This was at least 3 sizes too small. Will try a larger size.

I'm a size 4, and the size 8 did not fit. Seriously needs a sizing guide! I was a competitive swimmer my whole life, I am aware that racing suits fit tighter, but this is not normal.

The bottoms for this suit are CRAZY SMALL. I read the other reviews which said this, so I ordered a size 12, even though I'm usually a size 8. (5'8, 134 lbs). The bottoms look terrible on me - they're so small. The top fits fine and is flattering, but overall I was really disappointed in the strange sizing.

I ended up returning this suit simply because the bottoms did not fit well. They were waist was higher than anticipated and did not look good. That being said, I am a 36B up top and a size 12/31 on the bottom and the 14 worked for me.

Love this suit. I weigh 122 and normally weigh size 4 in pants/dress. I order a size 10 in this suit and it fits comfortably. The bottoms are medium-high rise which isn't my favorite but serves its purpose for lap swimming. Very happy with purchase!

This bathing suit is cute and I was looking forward to not having a bathing suit that my daughter wouldn't be able to pull off of me but even after reading the reviews and ordering two sizes up the bathing suit was tight and tiny! This may not be a good fit for some, I will be returning it.

I am 5'7", 130 lbs, 134C. I am size 2 or 4 in pants, semi athletic. I ordered the swimsuit in 6 and it's a little tight, but I did not return it. It gets a little uncomfortable, but when it's wet it feels better. It looks low cut in the smaller size though and I wanted to lose about 2 lbs anyway. It looks awesome though, good quality, and I handwash to preserve it, unless other swimsuits that I throw in the washing machine. The bra compresses a bit like a sports bra, so it's definitely a sport look, but very flattering. I agree with previous reviewers,if you have a bigger bottom or chest, go up 3 sizes,otherwise 2 sizes will do. I don't understand why Nike makes the sizes so small? Zappos, as always, wonderful customer service and speedy delivery!

Like the other reviews said, definitely size up a couple sizes. I'm 5'1, 105 pounds and I bought size 8 which fits. The bottoms are a little baggy so I wish the tops and bottoms were sold separately, but overall I really like the suit.

I truly wanted to LOVE this suit-It's a great fit-the bottoms have more coverage than I'd usually wear but still flattering. The top was an odd fit for me. I'm an athletic build 5'7 130, 32DD. The top had coverage but I felt like it was too flimsy for me. the bottom wasn't tight enough under my chest I felt like the top would come up if I dove into the water or fall too far down if I was swimming. So alas it's going back. Perhaps not the suit for bustier women. I did just order another Nike suit to try- The Nike Epic Trainer...fingers crossed.

I typically wear a size 4-6 in pants. I ordered a size 8 in this swimsuit and it was way too small! It really dug into my body at the seams. Not comfortable at all!

Great fit and coverage. Runs small. I'm an XXS in Athleta swim suits and this Nike 4 fits perfect. Nice, smooth top to go under rash guards.

THERE ARE NO LIES IN THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE SIZING. ORDER 3 SIZES UP. Okay, got that out of the way. Now for the actual review. :) I ordered this suit to swim laps. I'm not a triathlete, I don't swim in races, but I wanted an athletic swimsuit that was still semi-cute to wear at the pool, and maybe around the beach with my son if we were going to be more active. It's PERFECT for that. You definitely don't want things too loosey-goosey swimming laps, and this suit has no chance of falling down. For reference, I am 130lbs, 5'5", and a nursing mom (so I definitely have some boobage [technical term]) and the size 10 is literally the smallest I could possibly go. I probably would have been happy with a 12, honestly, and I'm normally about a size 4 in clothes. Anyhow, I am super happy with this, it's very cute but functional, but not over the top, either. Highly recommend!

Love this suit! For reference/sizing help: I am 5'5", 120lb, bra size 34B. I usually wear a size 2. I ordered a size 8 and the top fit my full chest perfectly! The bottoms, although not skin tight (I have a flatter rear anyway...sigh), hugged my hips securely and still looked flattering! Check the Nike size chart - look to see what size your waist and chest dimensions are. For example: I am a 35 chest, and a 27 waist - the Nike size chart tells me I am a size 4. Then, go up two sizes (as Nike recommends for the more casual swimmer), so that you have less of a second skin suit - and more of a relaxed swimming suit. I went from a 4 to an 8. Hope that helps, happy shopping!

I am in love with this bikini! i am working at a summer camp and needed something sporty and this was perfect. I am 15o pounds, 36D chest and wear a size 8 in jeans and the size 14 fit perfect. I originally ordered a 16 but the straps were too loose and Zappos did an AMAZING job at getting it exchanged. I called them on a Tuesday to exchange it for a 14 and it came THE VERY NEXT DAY. I returned the size 16 and I am very happy with the customer service Zappos provided!

I am 5'1", 115lbs, petite, and normally an XS-S in swimsuits, but based on reviews, I bought both the 8 and the 10. The 8 was tight on me, so I sent it back and went with the 10. However, I should have stuck with the 8. The 10 began to loosen up after the first swim. I give it 5 stars for overall and comfort. It is very well made and comfy swimsuit. For style, the top is an A+, but if you have a short torso, the bottoms are a bit large for my taste.

I love this bathing suit, especially the bottoms, but the top is very tight. I read reviews and ordered a 6 and 8 just to be safe. The 8 was too small :( sad to return both.

I bought the swimsuit for my 14-year-old daughter to wear on the beach. She loves it. Bottoms stayed in place volleyball and being active on the beach. Her only complaint would be the top does not have pads.

Arg! Honestly, I should have known this wouldn't fit because swimsuits rarely do, but it was still disappointing to see such a bad fit! It's a cute suit, but just does not work. I am 5'1", 115 lbs, and a 32D/DD. Basically, pretty a curvy, but also athletic build. I saw that everyone around that size who reviewed ordered a size 10 and were pleased. However, this is one of the worst fitting garments I've tried on. The bottoms, as expected, were super tight and gave both the muffin top and sausage leg effect as well as being slightly loose in the bum area. A size down would have been even tighter around the hips, and probably not tight enough on the bum. A size up would have been way too loose on the bum and still probably quite tight around the hips. The top was actually way too big. As I am a 32D, it's difficult to find something that is small enough around my ribs and supportive/tight enough around my bust. It was loose around the ribs, loose around the busy, and the straps were way too long, making for a very unsupportive top. These problems are consistent across almost all swimwear for my body - if anyone knows of a company that makes good, training/surf/sport swimwear with accurate and more tailored sizing, I'd love to know!

As a current runner & cyclist, I plan to add swimming and do my first triathlon in the summer of 2015. I ordered this suit for my training. I am 5'4", 134 lbs with a fit, slightly muscular build. I normally wear 4-6 (small) and due to numerous reviews, I ordered this suit in a size 10. The 10 is slightly snug on the bottom and I could have used a 12. However, I would be concerned about the top being slightly too large in a 12 so I'm hanging on to this one. I love the suit and it's much more flattering than a one piece on my flat-chested figure - but still feels functional and substantial enough for swimming laps.

I got this suit for lap swimming and i is excellent; it is a nice style and stays on without slippage. I ordered the size 10 and it fits. I am usually a size 6 so I followed the advice of the other reviewers and sized up 2 sizes.
