Comfy, modest, and love the high rise

I'm a 5'5", 156lb, curvy 50-year old. I appreciate the high waist and comfort of this swim bottom. This will do fine for me poolside, but I'm a bit worried for a lot of pool activity it might feel loose and that a medium would be better.

Nothing like the Original

I've been a long-time wearer of Athleta swimwear. I was excited to see it make a return after it went MIA over the last year. This new line is nothing like the original. The fabric seems thinner, almost no smoothing effect and minimal compression. I love the new colors, but the swimwear itself remi...

Just the right of coverage. Very flattering for a mature body.

Not High Waisted, Not Full Coverage, Very Thin Material

Very disappointed- I usually LOVE Athleta swimwear but these bottoms are very skimpy and cheap thin fabric-- skimpy front and back so not "full coverage", sits well below waist so not "high waisted"

I will return this and will not try it on. It's in a rubber band in the bag and has cat hair or something on it!

I have this in a few colors and the material and fit are both great. True to size. Has not lost its elasticity and has held up well.

Cute !

This is the first bathing suit I've purchased from Athleta and I really like the style of these bottoms. They hit just below the belly button. They're a little bit big so might compare a smaller size on

The full swim bottom has been my go-to for years, and I was devastated to find that they ruined it in 2026. Beware: these are now cheeky high rise.

Great fit!

I have ordered this cut/style in the past and this bottom is defintely not full coverage. Fit was MEH at best. If you like some butt cheek hanging out - this is for you !! GO back to previous design please. Returned item. For reference - 5'5" - 122lbs
