Swimsuits with built in support?
Is there such a thing? I'm having a terrible time finding a one piece suit for swimming laps. Heck, I'm having a hard time finding a one piece suit that doesn't look like something that my Grandmother would wear. As of right now, I just need something for swimming laps in the pool, but I would like something that is at least a little supportive as I'm a 36D/36DD right now. I know that I'm going to have to go to a sporting goods store to try some stuff on, but am wondering if there are any specific recommendations to save me from having to try on eleventy billion swimsuits blech.
Thanks!

Don't know your price range by why not look at racing suits? I've been able to wear them comforablely when my size has varied from 34D-38DD. If you go that route you will definately want to look at the polyester suits (they last much longer!). Speedo is the name brand to beat. I've also had good luck with TYR and bad luck with Nike. Your size is typically your bra size but when you get to the DD range you may need to go up one.
Ditto Vikkie. Look at the suits that competitive swimmers wear. Find a local swim shop and try them on. Speedo and TYR are your best bet. I would imagine a size 36 or 38 would be good. Try them both on. The 36 might be a bit tight to get on the first time, but it should hold the girls in just fine. Remember they will stretch a *tiny* bit in the water. If you get polyester, it will last years.
Bazinga!
