As for telling someone their suit is getting ... um ... transparent... maybe the best thing is simply to tell them. A woman took me aside once in the locker room much earlier in my swimming days and told me that my suit was essentially see-through. (It was a white suit... and I got a good deal on it... hah! what did I know back then!) Very embarrassing, but thanks to her, I got a new suit before I swam again. Even though the woman seemed maybe a little too proud of herself for announcing to me that my suit was transparent, I figure she did me a favor no matter.
AquaFeisty--Maybe something general to your class, to the effect that chlorine really eats suits and so it's wise to check your suit periodically, especially if you've had it for a while, to make sure it's not become too transparent. Without actually saying to any individual that their suit is ... blowing their cover. Just a thought.
