Shorts over swimming costume

[Thekormachameleon]

Does anyone do this ?

I do aqua fit a few times a week and although my costume is really well fitting and comfortable, I can't deal with the worry of an arse cheek or worse falling out

I don't want a leg suit because I'm fat and they aren't very forgiving but thought some slim fitting swim shorts over my costume might work

Does anyone do this ?

Why?!

Surely if you're in the pool, no-one would be able to see anything under the water?

Tankini shorts to match your costume?

DD wears men's trunks over her swimming costume. If it makes you more comfortable go for it. I'd be inclined to go for swim leggings though more than shorts. Have a look at 'modesty' swimwear and I'm sure you'll find something appropriate

I go swimming a lot and in the last couple of years I’ve seen more and more people with swim leggings - including men, not just women - or tight neoprene shorts.

Yes. I wear tankini shorts. They don't particularly match but I feel more comfortable than just wearing costume alone and comfort for me counts above style/aesthetic.

I have some swim shorts to wear over my costume like short leg board shorts. They were from mountain warehouse, although they don't sell them anymore by the look of it. I love them, they make me much more confident in and around the pool.

I wear swim leggings to hide loose skin and fat 🙈.
The problem with shorts is that they tend to rise and bounce in the water.

Legsuit or jammers.

I also have some short board shorts. Totally recommend them, they’re very lightweight and give you peace of mind. I felt particularly smug about them in the CentreParcs pools & slides.
These ones from Decathlon: OLAIAN Tana Women's Boardshorts - Black £14.99

I've worn board shorts over my swimsuit in the past but it's not the most comfortable solution - especially if you are moving around a lot in aquarobics. I bought this swimsuit from decathlon and it's a really nice fit (I'm a size 18/20), it's like an all in one tankini with a loose fitting top and cycling short bottoms.

Thanks for the replies
That all in one from decathlon looks like the perfect solution

Swim dress.

my teen dd and most of her friends like to wear mens swim shorts over their costumes, noone bats and eyelid, they feel more confortable

nothing wrong with wearing shorts or a rash vest over a cossie, if that makes you feel more comfortable.

yep and I know people that wear a t shirt too. Whatever makes you comfy. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks :)

Wear what makes you feel comfortable. Buy a pair of men's trunks to put on over your costume if it helps. Do whatever you need to do to be able to enjoy yourself without worrying :).

I do on holiday when swimming in the sea, its for when I get out so that people do not see any camel toe or pubes/rash😆

I like shorts for swimming. I have some nice boden ones that I wear over a swimsuit, or with a tankini to bikini top.

I've seen shorts tankinis and bikinis at this site, and they do shorts separately too. Not actually bought anything from yet but planning to:

I bought this today Swim suit £15 sports direct

I wear a boyleg swimsuit.

It's so much better.

I go to swim not look good (built for comfort so that boat has sailed), so I don't think about anything but comfort.

I wear these swimsuits 'boyleg' style for aqua fit and I'm 5ft8 with a long body so usually find swimsuits difficult to source

Also have tankini tops and mens swimshorts as an alternative, primark mens swim shorts are under £5 and often have zip up pockets which are great for locker keys.

Second these!

They are great. Comfortable, fitted enough - not skin itght but not flappy.

DD has them, actually wears them as bikini bottoms.

Board shorts on Amazon, they are fab, careful about sizing as the ones I ordered came up small.

Seafancy have a rubbish return policy and they are shipped out from Florida.

I've got a tankini from sports direct. It's shorts and a long line top.
