check out http://www.h2owear.com/ for chlorine resistant well made suits for women in many styles. I have several and am still able to use one I bought 4 years ago and I swim a lot.
I have had good luck with Swim2000.com. I usually wait until they send around one of their 25 to 30% coupon codes and buy a couple of suits and goggles.
The Race Club just started carrying swim suits that fit well, look good, and will arrive in your mailbox within a few days:

Making suits last for multiple years?! I go through at least three sets of briefs a year (only train in pool and swim open water events). So it's grab bag suits for me. I'm usually the only guy in briefs at the open water events, but I can't get comfortable in anything else.
As for goggles, after much futzing and tyring to catch up with the times, I went back to the Swedish goggles which I buy at Kastaway.

Speedo Endurance is all that, they last forever. Even in the intense AZ sun, swimming 4-6x per week year-round.
On my last Endurance suit, the elastic on the legs wore out first. The fabric was still good, even after more than a year of use!
No, Speedo did not pay me to say that! I would recommend any of their Endurance suits, they hold up very well to high duty cycles.
Tyr makes a nylon brief that is not quite as comfortable as the polyester suits,but the are much cheaper and last almost as long(I can't be sure as I seem to lose them before they wear out.)
Doug ~ thanks for the tip. I'm on my third lycra jammer since July despite the assurance of salespeople who tell me I should get 6 months in a suit. I rinse them religiously, but I seem to be going through them very quickly.
