  1. Hi,

    I'm trying to find something between a bikini and a one-piece swimsuit,
    but I don't know if such a thing exists.

    Let's say it's something like a tankini, where your top (if you choose
    to wear it) is snapped or clipped onto your pantie and sort of becomes
    a one piece swimsuit which allows you, for instance, to dive off a
    diving board without you having to hurry and put your top back over
    your breasts while you're swimming out from underwater, as is usually
    what happens with a bikini.

    Anybody know of something like this?

    If you dive (headfirst), how will attaching the top to the bottom prevent
    the top from falling down? That would seem to prevent the *bottom* from
    falling down. If the top fits properly/snugly, it should stay put when you
    dive. Maybe your suits are too big? Or maybe they are more the
    "lingerie-for-being-admired-in" type of suit than a real "I-actually-swim"
    suit. I think some of the makers of sport/competition suits also make
    tankinis; I would look for those. (Remember, too, that a structured bra
    type top will trap air when you dive in. The shelf bra type will probably
    lessen the bubble effect.)

    Those are definitely around, but don't have a special name to my
    knowledge. I would search on bathing suit and "cutout" on google or
    froogle or wherever. A workout bikini might also work for your purpose.

  4. How about one of those suits you see lifeguards wear? I can't imagine a
    lifeguard fooling around with a top that would flip off when she dived in to
    help somebody. That top is more substantial that the little string-tied
    bikini tops one sees at the beach. Look in the catalogues for training
    two-piece suits or something like that.

    Thanks for the tip. That's probably what I'll end up looking for, but
    it would be nice if it could be somewhat esthetic too, not just
    functional.

    You didn't ask me . . . but I think workout bikinis look fine.
