How to measure
Getting a suit that fits well starts with taking accurate body measurements. The measuring tape should be fitted snug against the skin and body for all measurements. We suggest taking measurements in a swimsuit or undergarments (not over clothing) for accuracy.
Ensure tape measure is tight against the skin
-
Torso Measurement
Starting at one shoulder, wrap the measuring tape down your body, between your legs right against the leg crease, bringing the tape up your back to the point where you started.
-
Chest Measurement
Measure around the fullest part of your bust straight across the back.
-
Waist Measurement
Measure around your natural waist (smallest part of the waist).
-
Hips Measurement
Stand with your heels together using a tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and rear. Use a mirror standing sideways to ensure you are at the fullest point.

Tips on choosing a fabric: If you are looking for durability, 100% Polyester is the #1 choice. Our Reliance® 100% Polyester fabric has remained strong in the competitive swimwear industry for over 20 years. Whether blended with Xtra Life Lycra® or by itself, polyester is the leading fabric for competitive swimwear. New technologies in polyester have improved the hand and feel of the material, allowing it to surpass other fabrics. Polyester holds its color and is resistant to chlorine.
Characteristics of polyester fabric are:
- Strong resilient fibers
- Soft and comfortable fit
- Durable, resistant to shrinkage
- Abrasion/pilling resistant
- Quick drying
- Chlorine Resistant
- UV Protection
- Holds its shape
- Exceptional breathability
- 4 way stretch
- Launders easily
For comfort, lighter use of swimwear nylon blends are the way to go. Often blended with Spandex or Xtra Life Lycra® for elasticity.
Pros:
Comfort, offers a lightweight, smooth fit. Quick-drying and low-water absorbency. Typically lower cost than polyester.
Cons:
Has less resistance to prolonged sun exposure, and chlorine so fabric will fade much faster, lose shape than polyester. It’s just the nature of the different fibers! (To help, rinse with cool, fresh water after each use.)
Elite Sportswear, L.P. will not guarantee any garment that is not washed and dried as directed.
