Very supportive sporty swimsuit

I'm looking for a swimming costume to do lengths and water aerobics etc in. My boobs are massive so I need a very supportive suit. I'm wanting a sporty one. Can anyone help me find one pleas?

I think Speedos may be sized oddly small, or at least oddly short in the body, as I'm a 12/14 and, as above, the Speedo suit I wear for the pool is a 16. It's not notably baggy....

I've had two of the Freya Actuves suggested by Leeds upthread. I'm happy doing fairly aggressive Boot camp style Aquafit in mine. Warning though. Buy the cup size you really are, not the size you hope to be. I'm a 30/32 G depending on make and my current Freya costume is a 32F.... The outer fabric is not mega 'hold it all in Lycraed to make you look a size smaller' so, as the neckline is cut quite high I am aware of an unattractive 'twin busting' happening above the underbra and under the wet, thin fabric.
The lower half of the costume doesn't 'suck you in' or anything and the bra fastening takes a couple of goes initially to do up behind your back, although that might just be because I'm a bit weak on left and right!

All in all, it's a good costume for keeping the norks under control and I got mine for £48 which was plenty enough. ( always feel ripped off for being large of nork.)
Good luck with the water based fitness regime op. We have a right laugh in ours. ( and I can touch my toes in water, which I can't on dry land)

Correction: having been swimming this morning, I checked, andthe Speedo suit I wear in the pool is actually an 18, as I bought it when I was slightly larger. Anything smaller and the straps cut into my shoulders, though I suspect I could possibly go for a 16 now. Clearly they are designed for people whose legs start just below their boobs.

Ok I'm going to buy Freya one and speedo one. And I'm hoping that boobs don't escape. People will think there's a couple of marine mammals swimming alongside me Grin.

Thanks for help!

Ooh, tempted by the speedo! I'm a 16, wearing a 36GG (thanks, breastfeeding!). Only 5'4 but longish of torso. Should I get the 40 or the 42?

I'm 5foot tall and a size 32gg, the most successful/supportive/cheapest swimwear solution I've found is to wear a strapless bra under a tankini!
