I'm pregnant with my first child (due early August) and looking to get some advice from others about swimming through pregnancy, especially suits! What did you do for suits as your belly grew? At what point did you have to stop doing flip turns and what was the best alternative?
Congrats! I swam all the way through both of my pregnancies, even on my delivery days. I just wore normal suits and got a larger sizes as I grew. With my second pregnancy, when my larger suits wore out, I just switched to a two piece Jolyn suit. I never stopped doing flip turns, but I did struggle with flip turns while wearing a pull buoy. My only modifications to my workouts were that I stopped doing dives around month 5 and I couldn't hold my breath during hypoxic sets.
I also switched to a two piece Jolyn :) the high neck style bikini top is great. I still flipturn at 8 months but will do open turns as I get fatigued.
