Oh, I know a thing or two about this. I actually teach scuba in my free time.

I guess the question is then, how are you presenting?

Second, if you're with a halfway decent shop. You're going to be in a 3mm wetsuit for your pool sessions. Most pools are kept in the low 80s and without a wetsuit, you're going to be freezing quickly. So ultimately; you're going to be covered head to toe most for most of the training.

For a gender neutral look.

Concealment: Get a cheap bikini bottom, a size lower than you need. This will compact everything and give you a nice smooth look downstairs.

Shorts: Basic women's board shorts

Top: Any rash guard

If you're presenting female, then I'd go with the bikini bottom for the same reasons, and a Tankini for the rest.


***Amazon links for reference. They have lots of different styles and patterns outside of what I listed.

That depends how much skin you want to show, and what style you're going for.

For tops, there are lots of options. The sports bra type look, which shows your belly but not much chest. There's a cropped rash guard which covers even more chest but still shows the belly. Then you've got the bikini that shows the most of everything, or the tankini, which covers the belly but is low cut at the top like a bikini. There's an even longer version of tankinis now called a swim dress that I think is cute. I love this long sleeved, belly-showing rash guard too.

Now, if you don't want to show a lot of skin there's a short sleeved rash guard, or long sleeved rash guard that all cover the belly and chest completely. They have all kinds of colors of these things.

For the bottoms, there are always plain old board shorts for everyone. There are shorter ones too. There are tons of colors and lengths for those.

You could wear a bikini bottom by itself or under your board shorts. There are a zillion colors and styles of those. There are swim boxer briefs that you can wear alone or under shorts too. If you want the bikini look but are concerned about the shape of your genitals, there are plenty of bottoms in the men's clothing section that look fantastic and would be easy to match to a bikini or tankini top.

Oh I remember these! It reminds me of a hibiscus print like this I also found some very similar prints searching for board shorts here. Good luck!

Not a fan of the swimskirts myself, so I m going to toss a vote in for some board shorts. My preference is something like those with two bikini bottoms under.. for... personal preference.

Lap appropriate swimsuit for large breasts: Miraclesuit Colorblock Touche (discontinued). Not as awesome but still pretty good: Miraclesuit Helix. Both of these have underwires, higher necks, and clasps in the back that holds everything in place. You can buy directly from Miraclesuit, or Amazon, or other retailers.

Friendly Swede Silicone Swim Caps - They keep your ears dry!

Aqua Sphere Kayenne Swim Goggles - There's probably fancier goggles out there, but I like these just fine.

Ekouaer Board Shorts - I love these swim shorts for water sports. They are high waist, and have a drawstring so they don't fall down if you take a tumble in the surf. I wear them with a regular tankini top.

I don't know about cute and summery, but after too many water-park adventures in denim shorts that ended in horrific, saddle-waddle rashes... Maybe a pair of skinny rash guard shorts or long board shorts? This listing on Amazon has a bunch of colorways and decent reviews. Plus cheap!

Mixing and matching can be key. You can find really cute ruched shorts like these and match with other tops.

I wear these women's board shorts under a swim skirt. For up top I wear a tankini with padded cups. It works pretty well as long as you keep your arms, legs, belly, and upper chest shaved (I say belly because in a pool the loose part of the tankini can sometimes float up a bit).

iheartraves bottoms via amazon

I’m 5’9 with a long torso. These come up a little above my belly button so if you’re shorter than me you’re probably fine. Also I see some comments about quality of iheartraves and while I’ve seen some pieces that aren’t the best, these are great quality imo. I’ve worn them multiple times and they look great with no stretching or pilling.
