Issue with swimming

So in one of my posts people recommended swimming.
I love swimming, I will put in the effort to go swimming.
You are lucky if you get me away from water. Usually.

BUT, big problem.
I haven't been able to find a swimsuit that fits me since I was 15
Not because I'm big, but because I'm 6 foot.
All the one-piece ones I've found only go half way up my chest (Janet Jackson impression anyone?), A tanking doesn't hide my whole stomach (it stops about where the largest part of my belly is), and I don't do biniki's, I just don't feel comfortable in them, please do not convince me to wear one.

Is there any other girl out there who struggle with this and have found a solution?

P.S. I've already thought of the swim trunks and a swim top thing and the same issue comes up as the tankini.

    Athleta brand carries "tall" sizes, might be worth a try?

    I can sew but my machines are in storage.
    I have looked into lane bryant but I haven't been able to find the swimwear so I can try it on. Hopefully it'll be available soon.
