Long sleeve swimsuit with bust support

16 replies

Serenitespring · 15/01/2026 17:13

Anyone got any recommendations for a decent long sleeve swimsuit with bust support.

Not even sure if this is a thing as all the ones I’ve looked at are zip up so don’t know how you’d do a built in bra.
I’ve heard some women wear a bikini top underneath but if I could just get one piece it’d be a lot easier.
I’m size 10-12 UK bust 32FF
Please send links if possible and thanks

I gave up looking for anything like this and went for bikini and then rash vest over the top.

Thanks for replying. Yeah it might have to be that route, with the zip up most of them I can’t see how they’d do any support.

Are there any rash vests you’d recommend

I just wear mine with an Elomi swim bra. Rashies are ok for leisure use, but I find they flap a bit or move around if you're distance swimming or doing aquarobics. If you need streamlining, a one piece is better.

Snag do one called You Got To Yell, the sleeves are mid length but goes over the shoulders/ back and it has great bust support. I have one and it's wonderful!

I have a quicksilver rash vest. I think most are ok just make sure it’s equivalent to factor 50+ (just check what they say on the label). I bought mine for the very technically sound reason of it being the same shade of blue as my bikini so with the bottoms it looks like I bought it as a set.

I have the short sleeved version of this from a few years ago. Bust support is light, but fine for me (38F) due to the type of fabric.

I swim outdoors and would but this immediately if it was brighter.

Alpkit sell this.

I don't think they exist, at least not in the size that I need. I wear a bra-sized bikini top underneath.

These are really nice - pricy for the right thing it’s okay but no mention of bust support in the reviews. Mention of a double panel, whatever that might be

Where, please? I've looked on their website and none of the current styles seem to have bra support unless I am missing something.

It’s the Dulsie one. It has a lining which is a bit supportive. Swimsuit is surprisingly flattering. i haven’t worn it in a pool, just for lakes and river swimming

Same bra size as OP, I bought a cup sized swimming costume and bought a long sleeved rash vest to wear over the top. The double layer wasn't a problem but I knew I would be wearing it where it was cold.

Ah, thank you! That probably won't be enough for me but I appreciate your response :)

I do the rash vest and bikini top too. Usually for sun protection.

SWcurious · 16/01/2026 16:45

I like to sea swim. I have this Suit - no built in support but it fits well and you can wear a bikini top underneath. They come up large mind so size down.

Looks like it’ll be a bikini top under a swimsuit, wonder if it’ll give a funny line to the back of it.
Does anyone have ones from Amazon, to make it easier for ordering??
Mine just for swimming in the gym myself for exercise and for taking kids swimming in the local pool.
I have significant scarring and feel like not having a long sleeve swimsuit has stopped me bringing them for years - it’ll be different this year 😉
