You wear five suits over five years. People who buy one new suit and wear it for a year also wear five suits over five years.

Just get a new swimsuit.
When I used to swim laps in the pool, used to buy every 6 months / year. The chlorine and regular washing thinned out and faded the material significantly.
With summer swimming at the beach, occasional pool use over the summer, the swimsuits last a few years.

Usually, because they don’t last in the pool with kids. They get all stretched out. But sometimes they last two years or more if it’s one I don’t wear as much.

Yes, I buy a couple every year but I swim laps sometimes 5 days a week during the summer, so chlorine destroys them very quickly.

As long as they and aren't worn out, I keep my suits from year to year. I usually get 3-5 years out of a swimsuit.
But the year I lost some weight, you bet I got a new swimsuit! That is a great celebration of meeting a weight goal. I've never heard of altering one.

Yes I buy 3 every year for spring break and summer. Salt and chlorine do a number on swimsuits!

Altering a swimsuit? No.

No because I almost never wear the ones I have, but if one gets worn a lot, then I replace it. Certainly, if it didn't fit, I'd get a new one.

Curious if I should do alterations due to weight loss or just buy a new suit?
