Sports bra type bikini for large cup small underbust?

I’m 32E 49 yr old so needing lots of support for my assets but getting a bit tired of all the underwiring/moulding/layers of fabric that stay wet forever/up front and out swimwear. Gone the same way with normal bras I now wear (underwired) spacers all the time as they are so comfy and give good shape although not very sexy. Seems most ‘sporty’ bikini tops are clothing sized not bra sized and look horrible on me. Fave actual sports bra is Shock Absorber multi sports and I’ve been wearing those for decades as absolutely love the support. But can’t really use for beachwear/water sports. Would love to be able to wear Patagonia or similar but they look absolutely shocking on me - I’m vain and want to look as best I can in swimwear! All suggestions gratefully received. Prefer not too high necked as just makes boobs look bigger.

Another possibility? Again, not my preferred colours

I like the Sweaty Betty zero gravity bras and I am a similar size

Oh I actually like the Palm Springs. I don’t think Seafolly or the Freya thin straps one are gonna be up to the task. Bravissimo is also nice. It’s a shame they’re all underwired I mean I get it, it really helps to lift up, but sometimes I’d rather be squished in IYSWIM.
