I need a new swimsuit

None at all?

@amandajay I didn't swim at all last summer.

@ScribbledAdNauseum love swimming... but never get a chance last summer

I'm not sure what a rushguard is.

@JustBhem I looked it up, and if it brought the right results, it looks like a one piece bathing suit but with long sleeves. That would be somewhat helpful to protect my arms and shoulders for sure.

@ScribbledAdNauseum You can check it. It’s swimming suit but the purpose of that is to protect your skin from sun burn.

I've swam in just a tshirt and swim shorts. I saw some swim shorts on sale today but decided not to get any, I couldn't find any that I liked. I am possibly going camping (it's not set in stone) this weekend. If we end up near a lake, I want to be prepared. I do have a few swim shorts and the one tankini type top that I can bring. Oh shoot! I just remembered that I didn't get a beach towel, oh well.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Which reminds me I have beach towels. I bought some new ones for this summer. Can't wait to start going to the beach soon Did you ever make the repellent for camping, did it end up working? :)

@infatuatedbby Oh yes I did make it. It worked okay, but then we also had tiki torches.

I used to have swimsuit that I really loved. It was a brown tankini with brown shorts, I think the trimming was pink. I bought a cover up that I actually wore with a lot of different things, not just the swimsuit.

I'm making a mental list of other things I need. I just remembered my river shoes and placed them somewhere that I'd have easy access to.

Not even a pair of shorts that could possibly pass as swim shorts?

I generally keep bathing suits for years and years and years.

Hey, make your own style! It doesn't really matter what you wear. Have you seen the one piece bathing suits that are just a man's chest hair? People are wearing those, so whatever bathing suit you do have will probably look 10 x better in comparison.

@crazyhorseladycx There are some crazy fads out there, that's for sure. I would never wear the bathing suits featuring a person's hairy chest or even their face (I think I've seen these too!). The crocheted shorts for guys is just too weird for me. I'd have to seriously consider whether a person had a few marbles loose if they wore those! I don't necessarily have to be in the water, but I love being around it.

@ScribbledAdNauseum what??!!?? why'n earth'd somebody wear such? oh, ne'er mind - designers get these wild hairs 'n make such, then convince folks they need 't. sheesh, this reminds me 'f the new 'craze' fer men - crocheted shorts, some e'en with tassels! uhm, no.. i aint much 'f a water dog, only'd the swimsuit so's i could teach the young'uns 'n then the eldest grands to swim (fer their safety). i'm all fer coverin' 'nstead 'f lettin' 'schtuff' hang out. this ol' 1 piece 'twas always covered with a t-shirt 'n shorts, lol.

@rakski Exactly. You can also buy a cover up when just walking on beach or near a pool.

I feel like the tankini is more flattering.

@ScribbledAdNauseum yes, true and it does not show too much skin

It has been a couple of years for me as well.

@didinedhia I hope you will be able to find time to get in or near the water soon. It is so refreshing.

@ScribbledAdNauseum i really miss it so much
