    A wonderful swimsuit

    This is my second Deakinand Blue swimsuit and once again it is so good- comfortable to wear and support in the right places! I was awre that I needed to improve my fitness ( and perhaps tone up and lose a little weight) and wanted to find some exercise that I could do. I was advised to try swimming as I have issues with arthritic joints but was put off by the thought of wearing a swimsuit after so many years. Then I found Deakin and Blue looked at your size guide and bought a swimsuit.I am now swimming regularly, have improved my fitness and feel so much better about myself. I have even had to invest in a new swimsuit because I have gone down a size. Thank you for having swimsuits that are designed for real people!

    Comfy, confident and crushing through the waves

    What can I say? I think I’ve found my cool. All the extra bits of me are contained in a very fetching and streamline fashion. I think I’m faster and way cooler

    Excellent swimsuit

    I bought the Essential Swimsuit and have been very pleased with the fit - gives good support, yet ample freedom of movement.

    Gorgeous costume.

    Love this. It is my fourth costume from D&B and as always it is fabulous. Great fit,good coverage and good quality. I’m a Uk 10/12 mostly, 32 F and the 12 Munro is perfect. Plum colour is gorgeous. British made ethically. It’s a win win and worth the money every time. Thank you again.
