Swimming anyone?

Our swimming pool here at the apartment complex is supposed to open for the summer this weekend and the "Old Farmer's Almanac" is predicting a hot summer so I've been thinking about getting ready for swim season. I'm pretty sure I still own a bathing suit but, if so, it is buried deep in a drawer because I haven't been swimming for some time. And there's a reason for that.  The older my body gets the less I want it to be seen in a bathing suit. But this morning on the national news I saw an interview with a swimsuit designer who designs swimsuits for 'real women'. I checked out the website swimsuitsforall.com and they did have some lovely suits modeled by normal sized women (what the fashion industry calls plus size models - those who wear a 'gasp' size 14). But the websire says "for all" and I searched in vain for models with extra bulges in weird places, bulging veins, wrinkled knees, - you know real people.  I did see some cute suits but not what I'm looking for. I want a suit that starts about my neck and ends at my ankles and wrists, magically eliminating all the bulges I never used to have - sort of a full body spanks. Perhaps I should shop for a wet suit. Snorkeling any one???
