Swimming: it’s one of those life skills that once you learn you never really forget – it’s a big part of our lives I’m a really strong swimmer and Boo’s had lessons since she was six months old. When I look back at some of my fondest memories of childhood it normally involved swimming of some sort.
Boo is like the chameleon of swimming costumes, she has bikinis, Disney swimsuits, surfer girl style – you name it she’s probably worn it in water. However when it comes to me I like to keep my swimwear separate: pretty bikinis and swimsuits for holiday but when it comes to pool swimming it’s all about the fit.
Despite my obvious boobage I’ve always preferred to wear a Speedo classic muscleback – for me the fit is unrivaled and allows for the perfect stroke which lets face it, is what cracking out fifty lengths is all about. Swimming is my go to when I need to clear my head and focus.
I was really surprised to discover that House of Fraser Swimwear not only stock Speedo but have a fantastic range with all the latest styles as part of the their swimwear section. Now I know I said it’s all about the fit but hey come on it has to look good as you really want to make the most of it seeing as you’re half naked first thing on a Monday morning with crazy hair – just me then? I love the all over monogram muscleback swimsuit from Speedo in black and pink as it’s a tried and tested style for me with a twist on the design making it that bit different.
New swimwear is a bit like new shoes, there’s excitement when you open it up and secretly (or not so secretly in my case) you can’t wait to test it out, it’s like being a kid all over again. So a few days later off I headed to the pool for a few lengths – I really didn’t have time for the usual fifty so I settled on thirty lengths. Did my new swimsuit make me faster or more streamlined? Probably not but there’s nothing better than swimming with a smile on your face – although remembering to breath is still pretty vital!
Disclosure: We were sent a Speedo Swimsuit for review. No payment was received and all opinions are 100% honest.
