EvilPixie May 2021 9:56am, 10 May 2021 25,113 posts	0 EvilPixie thanks Fraggle I did look in tesco and nothing suitable for proper swimming with boobs! will check out sainsburys! I may even venture to Tamworth an look at decathlon!

The Great Raemondo May 2021 10:01am, 10 May 2021 7,686 posts	0 The Great Raemondo I picked one of these decathlon.co.uk up when the pools reopened briefly before being closed again at the end of last year. I can't remember if I for a size 14 or 16. I'm finding it pretty comfortable and easy enough to get in and out of, as well as being pleasing on-topic in terms of brightness, though I'm aware that being rather strappy and high legged it may not be within everyone's psychological comfort zone. I remind myself that once in the water I would very much struggle to identify if anyone else looks 'good' in whatever they're wearing, even if I was trying to (which I don't because I'm too busy swimming, and I'm not an asshole), so the fact that my cellulite is getting a good airing is mostly irrelevant.

The Great Raemondo May 2021 10:06am, 10 May 2021 7,687 posts	0 The Great Raemondo Second the need for new kit, Frags. Something comfy and supportive but not too restrictive is called for, I suspect. If you're doing a different kind of training than before you need to make sure it's not going to chafe or anything. Can't be taking risks with that sort of thing at such a crucial time.

TheScribbler May 2021 10:14am, 10 May 2021 5,471 posts	0 TheScribbler The ladies who swim in the sea near me love Deakin and Blue swim cossies. They are rather more expensive than your standard supermarket or Speedo version so I have yet to be persuaded. But they look like a nice fit for a fuller figure. I swim in a cheap Speedo tri suit or swimming costume. I’ve also had some nice Zogs one.
