Ladies who swim while pg

I am looking for a good athletic maternity swimsuit. I want to keep swimming laps, and am having a hard time finding a maternity suit that isn't just for looking fashionable.

I tried on some regular Tyr, Speedos, etc in larger sizes, but my bump makes the neckline get pulled down really low.

Thanks in advance!

I just used a size 40 nike swimsuit.  My normal size swimsuit is a 34/36 depending on the brand.  It worked for me all the way up until I delivered.  I swam the day before my induction.

I did the same. My boobs did start to spill, so I wore a Speedo sport bikini top underneath. The chlorine or salt water in the pool will loosen the suit up, especially if you're in the water daily. Also look for a longer torso suit too, that might help.

Ok, then it sounds like I was on the right track to try on bigger sizes. I'll just keep looking for 'the one.'

This.  I initially wore my regular one until I hit 25 weeks and then I sized up one size.

I swim twice a week on a masters swim team and am currently 25 weeks pregnant. I bought a maternity suit online as I wanted one where the straps would not be falling off while I swim. I ended up getting this one.

Whats funny is that two other women that are on my team and in my lane are also pregnant and due a month after me.

Good idea! I was wondering what to do myself. Thanks!

Last pregnancy I wore a two piece sports bikini when I swam laps.  The top was basically a sports bra.
