The Sidestroke Swimsuit

4.2 • 6 Reviews

I have had this swimsuit on my to-buy list for years, and I finally tried it out this past summer. The fabric is thick and feels high-quality and I love the way it looks. However, when I lifted my arm a few times, I felt like it was slipping down and that I might be tugging it up constantly. Possibly a long torso version would work better. I decided to let it go for now.

I love this suit. It’s so flattering and comfortable. I have this in 2 color combinations and I would have even more! It does get stretched out a little bit over time. That would be my only gripe. But I like the brand.

Quality craftmanship and great fit. I found the one thing I did not like about this suit is that there is not padding up top. I don't feel confident wearing this and I think having the option to at least have removable padding would change my mind about this suit.

Summersalt is my go to for all swimsuits. I love the sidestroke the most but have some of their OGs from a few years ago that have held up so well with regular use. All of them offer light compression and just help suck everything in without being too tight.

I was a bit wary of trying Summersalt since I'd only seen influencers talk about their suits, but I'm so glad I gave them a try! I ordered a few to try before a beach vacation and ended up keeping two, which was more than I'd planned! I think the cuts/styles have a good amount of variety so you can find something you like without it being exactly the same as everyone else's. My only disappointment is that the Sidestroke suit I got doesn't have any internal bust support, but the fabric of the suit provides enough support/compression that it doesn't really matter. Both my suits have held up well through multiple wears and washes, and I hope to wear them for the next couple years!

I LOVE this suit and have never gotten more compliments on a swimsuit before. It's curvy friendly, hides all your lovely lady lumps, big chested friendly, doesn't pill! Plus, it doubles as a really cute top after you've been swimming and need to put on a skirt or pants afterwards! I've had it for about 5 years and it's still in great shape.
