Plus size swimsuits for laps?

Hold onto your pants if you dive in, but if the top has good straps and decent coverage it should be fine. Fashiony type stuff tends to balloon out and catch water.

As someone who was short and stubby, I found trunks with a tie string and a rash vest worked best for me.
However if you prefer a more traditional look some tankinis may work, however be careful to get one that won't ride up or down. Another thinge to look for us how high the legs are if you are carrying a little extra around the tummy. The extended leg holes being pushed out showing a large bellybulge (and sometimes a bit more) is not the best look. If I was shopping for a one piece would be aiming for a boy leg design

I wear a tankini top and black spandex shorts. No one looks twice.

I have a one piece I just bought. I'll wear shorts over top because things need to be covered. I have a 2 piece suit I'd like to wear but the top floats up to the surface...annoying! I got mine from Junonia but only because I need a tall.

I love the Lands End tugless tank, mastectomy version. (The regular version is probably Swell, too Available up to 26W in some colors, regular & long torso). 9No, I have no affiliation with Lands End. Just a happy consumer.)

I'm a post-mastectomy li'l ol' lady, no reconstruction, and I choose to swim (and live most of the rest of my life) without prostheses.

These tanks stay in place, no gaping, no shifting, even without breasts.

It's taken work, but even when obese I was able to find swimsuits that I could truly swim vigorously in, if I worked hard at it. I'm pretty sure few other people are so difficult to fit. I'm a big fan of the one-piece, with or without shorts/swimskirt on top.

I think that if you want stability, the one-piece is ideal: straps hold it up, solid band under the breasts holds it in place if you have breasts , crotch holds it down - where can it go?

Thanks yall! I ended up ordering a one piece from swimsuits for all with a terry robe for until I get to the pool. Yall were so helpful. Now, to figure out what is best to do in the pool..besides laps, im sure that gets boring. lol

Aqua aerobics is good if you could fit it in?

Also, I wear one piece swimsuits that have a skirt attached as I'm quite conscious of having every line and crease on show.

I typically just wear my (form-fitting) sports bra and shorts. (Under Armour - they look fairly swim suit-esque).
