I hated swimming and was really resistant, but now I love it. I had the same worries as you at first because I knew I would stick out like a sore thumb with all my tattoos, hairy legs and armpits, and the fact that I look more like the guys than the girls. I wasn't sure what to wear and was really uncomfortable at first. My pool has a "dress code," but they just don't really want you wearing cutoffs, t-shirts, or sports bras. I wear a Speedo or similar one piece, solid color, with jammers (long swim trunks made out of nylon or polyester, my preference). I also often wear a rash guard, which is a shirt made of the same material. Occasionally if it's really hot I'll wear a competition-style top (which is sort of like a sports bra) with my jammers. This is a great site to buy everything for swimming www.swimoutlet.com If you have any questions about gear, suits, or swimming in general, send me a message.

Best,

Devon

Either make it a one piece speedo or wear swim shorts and a sports top that should do it.
