    Athleta.

    I really like the shorts + tankini combo.

    Of course, being fall now they don't have as big a selection as they do in summer, but this is the type of thing I am talking about:

    Edit: they're not under $25 a piece, unfortunately. And the top I linked to might be a bit lower cut than you want, but I also have a high cut top from their triathlon line.

    Most of us are on a very limited budget, but the added expense might be worth it if the suit lasts a l-o-n-g time! Thanks for the suggestion!

    I'm on a limited budget, too, but I have to have a very supportive swim suit top, so I splurge for one every spring when I get my tax returns. I just haven't found any other tops that give support like Freya.

    If you like the Retro Vintage stuff, I highly suggest:

    Modcloth.com.

    All my suits and a lot of my wardrobe come from here :)
    Their suits tend to run small, so size up. If its too big they have an awesome return policy. Ive had to return items twice and they were super fast and super nice about it. :)

    I would go with a swimdress. They cover more, hold you in, and look better doing it.

    I have quite a few of them, but this one is my favorite (mine is maroon, not brown)

    These are very nice, but seems like they would be more for lounging around the pool, rather than being in it, exercising and jogging around. They look very sophisticated. Thanks for the suggestion!

    This is another retailer we hadn't heard of, but we'll definitely be checking out all they have to offer. Thanks for posting the exact links!

    I love their swimwear, too. I really don't think it's too pricey--plus, it's just so pretty! I'm on their mailing list, so just waiting for a good discount special to come up...thanks for the suggestion!

    I can see how they look that way, but I wear mine to actually swim in, with a baby and a 5-yr-old. We go down water slides, the rope and float obstacle course, and general climbing around and bending over a lot. :-)

    I love the look of vintage bikinis.
