I just need a flattering, understated swimsuit to take my kid swimming each week as he refuses formal lessons. Hopefully not to expensive either!

Have tried so many over the last few years but have given up. Size 10, short body, big boobs.

Help!

You might have better luck with swim shorts and a top? There's so much more choice these days and loads more people at the pool wear tops than they used to (incl men). It doesn't have to be a costume.

Bravissimo have got some nice swim sets on sale at the moment - they're usually good for the bigger breasted :)

Bravissimo do swim suits with hidden support:

Might be worth a look

I like Zoggs brand. They seem a good compromise on style and substance for 'proper' Swimming. They do some particularly nice tropical print ones with a v shaped panel around the neck line.
Pour Moi also make good swimwear in cup sizes, and outlet on eBay. Some a bit more holiday

I got one from decathlon. It's one piece but it's with a shorts and offers good coverage

I've been looking for swim shorts for years as would much prefer that, but haven't had much luck?

Yes, my current favourite is also a decathlon one piece. I've tried leg-suits and separate short/tops but they're just never as comfortable.

I have this one, which is very comfortable. It looks like shorts and top but is a one piece

I got mine from Sports Direct, top and shorts. So much easier than a one piece
