PLEASE NOTICE
- POND3 Sport: Go one size DOWN for a more tight fit suitable for lane swimming, high diving, etc.
- In-between sizes? Go one size up for the proper Pond-relaxed fit.
- Large quads or bum? Go one size up.
- Doing lanes in the pool? Go one size down for a more snug fit.
- Well endowed? Lucky you, we suppose. Ponds accomodate most bulge sizes, but the flat front might squeeze you a bit, if you are above average.
