Maternity swimsuit with short legs

10 replies

Can anybody help me find one?
Pre-pregnancy I was an avid outdoor swimmer and my preference is to swim in a swimsuit with short legs - they don't need to be particularly long (not knee length) but just not a silly little crotch like you get in a bikini or normal swimsuit.
Now I'm pregnant I've moved to an indoor pool and my swimsuit is really not fitting comfortably any more but nice cannot find a leggy swimsuit anywhere designed for the pregnancy body. Given its getting harder to keep myself tidy (iykim) I'd have though they would be popular amongst pregnant women, but apparently not??
Any recommendations welcome 🙏
I've seen one on amazon but it's a buy in from China jobby with a difficult returns process so not ideal.

Not what you asked for but have you considered a swim skirt? I have one that I wear with a maternity tankini on my top half.

@AndSeventeenJellybeans I've seen them but I can't imagine they suit a decent stroke. I'm slowing down now but the idea of something flapping around my legs doesn't fill me with joy.

Ah yes, the skirt style is more for splashing about with existing children, I haven’t swum lengths in so long it didn’t occur to me you wanted a garment for serious swimming!

Would you consider a tankini version? Frugi had one: www.welovefrugi.com/view-all-products/tyra-maternity-tankini

This looks like a potential - are frugi any good? I don't know them as a company.
