Please help! Can anyone please, please, pretty please recommend a maternity bathing suit for serious lap swimming??? I've taken a break from "hardcore" swimming workouts but still need your typical Speedo-type/-quality suit for doing laps and easy sets. (I've gone down to swimming 2000-2500 yards 4-5 times a week.) There are a multitude of recreation-type maternity swim suits out there or sportier types that claim they're good for lap swimming but have impractical deep U-backs, decorative X-backs, and/or are made of 80-90% COTTON (YIKES!?!?!!!)!!!!!!! If there are any moms out there (or dads who can tell me what their pregnant swimmer wives wore) who can give me any suggestions, they'd be EXTREMELY appreciated! I'm to the point where even my stretched out Speedos are getting a little too snug (you know, the suits where you've worn them so much that that white stuff rubs off on your skin or you've just turned them into your "drag suits" or you've just outright thrown them out)... Thanks in advance!!!

  • Most pregnant serious swimmers I know just wear regular speedos a size up or two, and as they grow the suit stretches out(as they are prone to do anyway). Hit the grab bag on sites like www.kiefer and buy bigger suits and that should work. I was teasing a friend at the pool who was still sometimes wearing her pregnant speedo(actually two because they were thin) and told her she is quite fit now, she can go back to her size!
