There I said it. Some of the most dreaded words women hear,
“Bathing Suit Season”
followed by,"Bathing Suit Shopping”.
If you are over 45 you may have noticed that gravity has
brought some of your body parts closer to your ankles. Also you may notice you
are a wee bit wider in the back -side. It appears swimsuits have not been
re-fashioned for the more mature woman.
Why in mid winter would I even broach this subject? Why would I venture all pale skinned to a
fluorescent lighted dressing room?
I hurt my back Thanksgiving time and part of my rehab is
swimming. I have been wearing bike shorts, a sports bra, and a tank top. This
cumbersome ensemble does not dry quickly and is falling apart. It is also not a
good look. In my drawers I found 3 swimsuits in 3 different sizes. None of them
could be worn for anything more than a controlled sit on a beach chaise. Swimming
would be out of the question! I have to buy a functional swimsuit, one I can
actually wear to swim.
I went shopping with a friend who although she weighs the
same as she did 30 years ago, which is skinny, she also has to look at the cut
of a swim suit for appropriate coverage. This friend goes on cruises and
vacations in Hawaii frequently so she knows her way around swimsuits. Since
skinny is never an adjective used to describe me and functionality is
important, we had our shopping challenge.
Front views, side views and back views were
scrutinized. While trying on some suits
I walked, I moved my arms overhead, I twisted and I did some lunges. The results were: straps fell down, butt
elastic rode up, and a Brazilian was needed!
I found a sports bra and some jogging shorts on sale. They
don’t go that well together but everything stays put and affords the
functionality I need!
Do you have any swimsuit stories you would like to share?

OMG -- STOP!! I just bought a suit today online so I don't have to try on in front of ANYONE! and now you say it gets worse?
Buying on line is a smart way to go!
Lands' End has good swimsuits and, if you don't like the one you receive, they let you send it back. For years they had a "mock tankini" that was great, alas it's no more. I think I'm going to swim in a tank top and capris from now on...
Tank Top and Capri works for me too!
