Swim Skirts, Rash Guards and Tankinis

One idea runs through this department: a swim bottom with coverage and a pocket. The swim skirts and board shorts sit high on the waist, carry a liner, and come on their own, so you pair them with a top you already have or with a tankini top from the same range.

Tankini tops here are sold without bottoms. Read the title before you buy one: the words top only mean exactly that.

Rash guards and swim shirts carry the same UPF 50+ rating as the sun shirts, and they are cut closer so they do not balloon in water. The cropped ones have a built-in bra, and the full-length ones do not.

Chlorine and salt wear stretch fabric out. Rinse in fresh water after every swim and none of these will need replacing next summer. Skip the rinse and the elastic goes first.
