    swim suits?

    Any recommendations on where to buy swim suits?

    I'm not into the slinky stuff. I'm actually going to use it and want things to stay um.. secure. Looking for a tankini so when I go on my grand canyon trip it'd be more practical.

    So far I've looked at Victoria's Secret, swim outlet, kohls, eddie bauer, nordies, title nine...

    Leaning towards one made my Tyr and surprisingly one at Victoria's Secret. Just afraid the latter is made more for show than actual use. Any other recommendations taken!

    I have both an LL Bean and a Lands End tankini, both stay put (I water ski with them) and look good.

    I don't like the bras LL Bean and Lands' End put in their suits. I don't find them nearly supportive enough and they feel weird to me. The cut of the bottoms also bothers me and makes me feel fat.

    I prefer TYR or Speedo suits for my water sports - dinghy boat sailing, snorkeling, lap swimming, etc. While they don't have the built in bra, the material of the suit is supportive enough for my needs.

    Title Nine has some really cute looking Tankinis and two piece suits. Some of them are TYR. I've also ordered suits directly off the Speedo site.

    My daughter has a couple of suits from Title Nine and I have some of their apparel. A little pricey but everything we've gotten there is beautifully made.

    For my swimsuits, I prefer Eddie Bauer. But most of my clothes are Eddie Bauer so.... not sure how objective I am

    I have some of the Target brand C9 swimsuits - I use them for lap swimming and haven't had any problems. And if you catch it right, you can get them for under $10.
