If you swim for exercise, what swimsuit do you wear? I need a new one...

Sorry its a bit boring, but need to get a new cossie as my Speedo one is wearing a bit thin.
I tried a couple from the new Speedo Sculpture range but they didnt look right on me - I dont need tummy control as have quite a flat tummy.
Am quite straight up and down - no waist to speak of - and fancy something which is sporty but a bit sexy too if that makes sense. Would prefer a colour other than black.
So far this is prob the nicest I can find but its a bit plain

NDP am definately not booby (I wish!) (34C or so).
It really needs to be a one piece, feel more comfortabl in a costume when lane swimming.

That second one is pretty hanaflower (first one perhaps bit too sporty for me), will have a browse on that site, looks promising.

no,no,no...nothing pretty

When I am in the pool I mean business so I wear my black Comme Des Garcon for Speedo one piece. Silver swimmming cap and black speedo googles.

I look scary people stay outta my way.. just the way I like it.

True, perhaps pretty is the wrong word, but I like to look decent and streamlined and a flattering costume can help in that department (though agree that a hat and goggles are not the height of glamour!).
