trust me- no one cares about what you look like in a swimsuit they are too busy worrying about their own bodies!

I don't think most people notice or care (I'm in the pool at least once a week), but if you're self-conscious, go in the morning - the only people there at that time of day are seniors, and they don't care! (and many of them have loose and crepe-y skin as well!)

I certainly understand about being self conscious about normal swimming suits. I would suggest checking out Swap.com or similar for "rash guard" shirts and swimming shorts/capris/tights. I really wanted to swim even pre-surgery but I couldn't get past my feelings about my body. Finally a nutritionist that I was working with said that she wore rash guards (with short or long sleeves) and swimming capris and that they came in sizes up to 5X! They were expensive new but it made me feel confident enough to star****er aerobics and swimming lessons and I soon paid for them since I swim almost daily and they don't fade like cheap suits! I've bought rash guard shirts on Swap and you could get some running capris or tights that will work just as well.

All of that said, everyone else is right, no one else who matters cares! There are women in my Aqua Zumba class who are at least 350-400 pounds and we all have a great time together!

Hey Karen, I don't know what size you are, but Swap has a bunch of rash guards for 40% off this weekend! Very cute and colorful!

I'm size 12 or 14 Women's or L/XL. I am on Swap right now and can't seem to find them. Where are you looking, Janet?
