Is this top good for swimming laps?

It is built for medium support, not high-impact swimming. The soft cups and twist front suit beach and pool lounging better than lap swimming.

Does it have real cups or just lining?

It has sewn-in soft cups, not removable pads. That gives shape without shifting inserts.

It is sold in alpha sizes XS, S and XL plus numeric size 12. Check the size chart, since buyer feedback on fit is mixed.

Yes. Lands' End rates the spandex-nylon blend as chlorine-resistant and UPF 50, though it is still hand wash only.

It uses double S-hook closures on a cut-out back band. The straps are adjustable and padded.
