Modest Swimwear Option
11 June 2009I know in our family and in talking with my friends and their families, whether they be pants wearing or skirt wearing, shorts on no short, long shorts or no shorts…most all have trouble finding modest swimwear options for their girls.
We have tried different things but have finally found the best option for us. We buy the girls swimsuits and cover them up with boys swim shirts that are easily found at Old Navy (got mine for $6 this year) and do not look too boyish. Just recently this year we have found these:
These are swim skirts for girls and women on Coolibar’s website www.coolibar.com. They hit just a inch or 2 above the knee and are waterproof. I have tried making skirts and they never work. THey don’t repel water as good. These are not too cheap but well worth it for us to not always be looking for something modest. We can continue to pass these down to the littler girls and not have to buy one every year.

We’ve been buying boys’ swim trunks as well. It’s still hard to find a swim suit, though, that has a modest top and back, so sometimes we still have to wear a shirt over it. I check the skirts out. That may make Devin happy!!
