swimsuits that cover loose skin?

Hi,

Has anyone lost a lot of weight after their sleeve, and found a swimsuit that covers upper arms and thighs? I love to swim and saw a lady at the pool recently with some kind of exercise wear in the pool, but didn't have a chance to ask her about it. Thanks!

You could get a swim shirt to wear for "sun protection". Kills 2 birds with one stone.

Yes...... I have found several websites with those and, along with swim shorts, I think that will be perfect. Many thanks to everyone who responded.

Dang...wish I knew about that hydrochic site before! Could have gone swimming without embarrassment long ago!

I know this is an old topic, but relevant to me. I have super skinny arms, excess skin on belly and thighs. Breast, well, they are a mess. :(

Check out surf wear. I wear a long-sleeved rash guard when I swim because I get cold.

Amazon has lots of options as well. I have been searching, I like board shorts and wear a sports bra type top under rashguard t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, or tank top. It all depends on the sun exposure. I am excited they are coming out with more woman's shorts options. Not a skirt type girl but nothing one piece fits properly anyway.

The rashguard swim shirts are so nice because unlike cotton they don't weigh you down.

The only issue, I'm having right now is finding the sports bra type top to go under it all. I prefer something that can un hook instead of going over my head due to an old softball arm. Let's say I have not been blessed enough to fit into the ones I have found. Last years, is not an option. It's a good problem to have.

You may have to time travel to the 1920s to find bathing suits with sleeves and pants

Actually not. There are quite of few options these days.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned H2O but that catalog has a lot of different options. If you look at surfing clothes and suites there are all kinds of lengths and variations, too.

You can find a ton of rashguard/sufer type stuff on amazon. LL Bean actually has some cute stuff too.

If you google rashguard you can find all kinds of cute options.

When I am at the Water this year I will be boating mostly so these options are perfect.

I got a set from Coolibar. If you wait for sales it isn't too bad. I got a swim shirt and a pair of Capri pants with an attached skirt. I wanted to hide due to weight but all my friends loved them and all got some too! They wear great in the water and dry fast when you get out.
