Long sleeved swimsuits

Can anyone recommend a long sleeved swimsuit or surf suit?

Size 16 and 5'8 - something that's going to cover me up swimming and snorkelling in a tropical place as I'm dead pale and prone to burning!

Thanks 😊

Lands end do nice long sleeve rash vests in plus range. I choose unpopular colours for good discounts! Better selection on the US site.

I have a long sleeved surf rash vest and matching leggings from Decathlon which are brilliant for swimming in and stop me getting burnt. I also have a long sleeved swimming costume and matching shorts from Alpkit.
I like the Lands End rash vests but the wrists are too loose to really swim in without them ballooning

Just had a look on Lands End website and they only have 2 rash vests, no long sleeve swimsuits unfortunately.

Marks and Spencer do two one black one grey

John Lewis do 4 but they are pricey

Next do a few more mid range prices- really like the Boden one on there, but again pricey

I tried various long sleeved swimsuits before a tropical holiday earlier in the year. They were all deeply unflattering. I ended up with a long sleeved rash vest and swim shorts from Decathlon, as suggested by pp too, and they were much better. Easier for nipping to the loo too!

I like my long sleeved rash vest from decathlon too

Bizarrely. Sainsbury's usually have one in their range.

I usually went for a standard swimsuit, and added on a long sleeved rash vest (from Amazon).
Makes going to the loo a pfaff, but otherwise was the best combo I found in 4 years of living abroad.

I actually saw a really nice one in Tesco at the weekend!

Second Roxy, I have their long sleeved surf shirts. They’re in quite a few colours so when I buy a swimsuit, I always buy a shirt to match. I don’t know why I don’t just buy a long sleeved swimsuit to start with as I never go out in the sun without my arms and chest covered.
