I chose to try the Tidal Tank Sporty Sleeveless Swim ‘n Gym Top and the Ruched Runner Swim Skirt. I am always leery when I order clothing online because of my size and shape. I am happy to say that by following HydroChic’s sizing guide, the pieces I received fit very well and were comfortable.
(I cannot believe I just put a photo of myself in a swimsuit on my blog!)
I wore the suit to my mom’s birthday party last weekend. She has a pool and I knew we would be swimming so I brought it with me. I wanted to try it in the water and I wanted to get the reactions of my family members to the suit. Interestingly enough, the adults all had the same input…the pants/capris are too long, and I agree 100%. I would rather shorts that come to the edge of the skirt. The top is perfect, I love it! My 13yo nephew laughed at me when I went outside to swim with him. I love that the suit has a UPF rating of 50+, I want my skin protected from the sun whenever possible. I also love that the top comes with a separate swim bra and you can choose if you want it with cups or no cups. This made the top even more comfortable.
While this isn’t my ideal suit I will wear it again. It is great for waterparks, beach picnics and to wear on shore excursions on a cruise vacation. I will also wear it this fall as active wear when I start my 5k training again.

Thanks!
HydroChic sure looks like a sports outfit to check out. I must agree, the pants are long, but in a 5K they may be good. I like the modesty and coverage from the sun. The uplift in the bra looks great too. Thanks for blog and for being brave enough to post your picture with your HydroChic on. You look marvelous.

Sure looks that way in the picture, but I could not find info in the description. Being a plus size woman, I would love the extra cover of this skirt. Thanks for a chance to win this great giveaway. Good luck to everyone. Kudos for posting a picture of you in the suit. It is always nice to see a real person and not a model. I think you look fabulous in it, even if the capris are a little long.

Triple Ruffle Swim Skirt would be the first thing I would choose. For the top I am torn between the Tidal Tank Sporty Sleeveless Swim n’ Gym Top and the Sun Breeze Swim n’ Sports Shirt. I like the sleeveless but prefer the modesty of the other. But either is beautiful and modest, a hard combination these days.
