Podium Athena - Black
A brand new style for 2024. We spent last year developing this suit based on the detailed feedback we received from our racing team members. Our goal is to offer a suit for larger women that is comfortable and fits well.
The Podium Athena swimsuits feature premium Italian made Carvico Vita PL fabric, made from recycled materials. This fabric is renowned for its quality, shape retention, chlorine resistance and soft feel.
The Athena suit is designed to offer more coverage than our other women's models. It is based off our racerback style with thicker more supportive straps. We increased coverage by lowering the hip rise in the legs and increase the overall coverage on the butt. In addition the opening at the back is much smaller and the back of the suit comes up higher over the butt.
Overall this suit was well received by our swimwear testers and we hope that this new style feels great to wear and swim in!
For sizing, we have found that the Athena fits more generously than our other swimwear.
If you're between sizes or at the lower end of a size range, we would recommend choosing the smaller size.
If you're in the middle or near the top of a size range, it should be a good fit.
(Example: a woman who is 5'2" and 200lbs, below height on the chart but in the middle of the size 38 range was happy with the fit of the 38. In addition, the mannequin used for the product photography was listed as a size 18, XXL and the 38 was a good tight fit for what that may be worth)
Please note, these suits were modeled off our Racerback but updated for more coverage. At this time we are only offering them in size W36 - 40. If you feel the Athena style would be your ideal choice of suit and you fall outside of this size range please email us@blueseventy.com and let us know.
Find your size
Start with your weight, then match your height. If your weight falls across multiple sizes, use your height to determine the best one. If your height and weight are on the border between two sizes choose a larger size for a more a comfortable fit or the smaller size for better performance but a tighter fit.
