I've swam in the Beacon Pro for years and absolutely love it. It's the best lap swimsuit I've ever tried. (For ref, I'm 5' 3, size SM, 34C cup, ~120-125 lbs, and I swim a mile at least 3-4X per week. It holds up forever.) I also wore the Beacon Pro (in black) while pregnant, swimming all the way up until 40 weeks and 2 days (it still fit, more or less!). So, in my post partum return to the pool this summer, I opted for the Melon Stripe w. Watermelon color thinking it'd be a fun way to depart from my usual black color. (New mom trying to be cool, I guess, hah.) But today, I got out of the pool at the Y and to my shock and embarrassment, it was see-through! I'm talking: breast pads visible, belly button visible, etc. It was awful. Can't recco this suit enough, but stick to the darker colors and patterns, unless you want to put on a show. Eek!

In good news, I reached out to customer service and they issued me a store credit. They don't plan to restock the darker colors this summer, sadly, so I guess I'll have to wait until next year or try something else for this season. I'm a Carve Designs die-hard when it comes to lap swimsuits, so I'm sure I'll find something. Long story short: if you're thinking about the melon color, skip it.

I bought this swimsuit years ago and wore it out. I was excited to see it was still sold by Carve, but this time it is way cheekier than when i bought it 5-7 years ago. It constantly gives me a wedgie. Love the swimsuit otherwise. But kind of hard to love a suit that I'm not comfortable in.

The color is great. The fit for me needed more support on sides/back for bust especially once suit would be in water there would be too much give. I would love if this configuration would address the strap/side/back issue. Thank you for asking.

I really love the style of this suit, at least how it looks on the model. I ordered a small tall. I have a long torso, I’m a smidge shorter than 5’8” and I’m around 120lbs. I’m pretty flat chested, small waist, but have a decent curve in my hips and more of a bootie than the woman modeling. This suit gave me a wedgie as soon as I moved around. It wasn’t very form fitting, had a higher neckline than I thought it would, felt loose up top, and overall it just fell short of what I wanted it to be. I’m a 40 year old active mom who exercises. I’m moving around with kids. I just knew this wouldn’t work, especially on my bootie.
