Maternity swimsuit - for actual swimming

I've been searching fo this for weeks so I don't think it exists, but one of you clever people might be able to help.

I'm after a maternity swimsuit for actual swimming not beach lounging - ie, not a tie-up halter-neck, no ruffles and definitely not one shoulder.

The problem is I'm 5ft10, so normal swimsuits disappear up my bum (sorry, tmi).

Before I was pregnant I usually wore sporty bikinis, but I'd rather not flaunt the bump at the leisure centre.

So I'm either after a tankini or a tall swimsuit. If it looks nice that's a bonus, but at this stage I'd go for anything that might fit.

Help!

The next plain black bandeau maternity one was good for me 5ft8 and they still have them, also they’ve a speedo one that may work.

I got one from Sainsbury's for my holiday that would do the jobs. Any other styles my boobs just fell out!

I got a maternity swimsuit for 'proper' swimming from wiggle.com I think it was a Zoggs one.

I got my swimsuit from TU (Sainsbury’s) online.

I’m 6 foot, pregnant with twins, and happily wearing an M&S tummy controlled swimsuit until 6 months gone. Admittedly it was in a bigger size. Covered my ever growing arse and bump well.
I’m cheap though and refuse to spend money on something I’m gonna wear for only a few months.
Hopefully I’ll get some use out of it post pregnancy, cause I don’t think I’ll lose the baby weight quickly.

I’m now seven months and can barely move due to huge bump in water or out so am in pregnancy two piece.

I wore my Long Tall Sally one right through both pregnancies. Haven't had a look at their swimwear recently, but they certainly used to do stuff that was actually fit for swimming in!

I’m 5”7 size 10 with a reasonable 23 week bump. I brought a JoJo cossie this week and tried it this morning. It is a halter neck (which I wasn’t sure on) but I felt well supported. It is very flattering and comfortable and still has space to grow. Highly recommended.

I had a Slazenger one in my first pregnancy. Not particularly pretty but definitely one for actually swimming in. Think it only cost me £5 too as it was in the sale.

Lots of ideas - thank you! The tall/ preggers/ swimming combo does seem to be tricky.

I've ordered a Figleaves suit in the next size up that I hope will do me for a few months.

I have this. Not cheap but good and works for post partum wobble too!

I'm 5'9 and got mine from Asda. It's great!

randomsabreuse · 29/06/2019 07:27

Decathlon had a good maternity one.

Erismorn · 29/06/2019 07:27

I've got the Speedo essential maternity swimsuit (same one Napqueen posted) I'm not as tall as you (5'8") but it seems roomy. They do a good range of sizes. It's definitely for proper swimming.

£13.50 on Amazon at the moment
