You know what I want? I want a suit with a boat neck top. I very high, cover up my chest high neck, swim suit. Not because I am particularly modest mind you, but because the older I get, the more sun I seem to get on my decolletage and I don't think it is particularly a good thing. I wear clear zinc on my chest and still manage to get too much sun. Thinning skin or something??
So I want to cover it up. I can wear a rash guard, but sometimes that is too much so a high, boat necked top would be perfect.

Can I ask you a question? I am 39 and have really bad arthritis. I always picture water aerobics as a bunch of elderly ladies in a pool with flotation devices. I will fully admit that the last time I saw a class in action I was about 19 so old is relative and I don't know what that actually means in the grand scheme of things. Would I be totally out of place do you think, if i signed up for the local Y and joined those classes? I know it would be so much better on my joints. Also those suits are darling!

I have started wearing the nylon board shorts and a tankini type top. We have a pool and I am in and out of it almost daily in the summer. I just feel more comfortable going about my business when I get out of the pool in something that covers more.

I've been doing it since I was in my 20s. Some classes are geared to seniors and others are geared to those looking for a low impact fitness program. You can always call the Y and find out which is which. It's a good workout and it really is so easy on the joints.

You can always call the Y and find out which is which. It's a good workout and it really is so easy on the joints. The class I take is geared for seniors but is fairly intense. We use pool noodles (create resistance) and also hand weights. Because I have arthritis, exercising in the water is the only kind I can tolerate. It is amazing how much better I feel exercising 3x weekly. In the summer we do it outdoors at our condo pool and in the winter we go to a local motel. I usually exercise on my own a few extra days in the summer. I never thought I would do water exercise , but now I can't imagine giving it up.

I have found all of mine at Target. I use to have issues with myself and not wanting to wear a suit but since going on vacation the last several years where we are by the pool all day I am over it. People wear all kinds of things at the pool which made me get over my own issues. know I go and have fun and not worry about it

I bought a suit from here divinitasole.com/designerIt was pricey but worth the money. I feel comfortable and don't mind wearing it to the local swim park during the summer.

iamkristinl16 Hey, I just wanted to update and say that I went and bought two of the Kirkland Signature Miraclesuit tankini tops and two of the skirt bottoms that I linked previously from Costco today and tried them on. The Lands' End suits I have and like are size 12 and that's the size I bought today. They fit great and I think they look decent too. The fabric is a lot lighter and less constricting than the LE suits but they still hold everything where it needs to be, LOL. The tops were $24.99 each and the bottoms were $14.99 each which is MUCH cheaper than the suits on the Miraclesuit website.

I have started looking for some of the other brands as well and saw some cute ones online. I hate to buy without trying on, though.

You know what I want? I want a suit with a boat neck top. I very high, cover up my chest high neck, swim suit. Not because I am particularly modest mind you, but because the older I get, the more sun I seem to get on my decolletage and I don't think it is particularly a good thing. I wear clear zinc on my chest and still manage to get too much sun. Thinning skin or something?? So I want to cover it up. I can wear a rash guard, but sometimes that is too much so a high, boat necked top would be perfect. Me TOO!! I have been looking for a boat neck bathing suit top for years. I have a bony chest and I get freckles and I want it covered up. Help me out, pea bathing suit gurus! I have no curves- nada, zilch. I am self conscious of my ribs so I like coverage, but full coverage suits seem to be for curvy girls...I am not. I'd love a skirt, to hide my saggy bum and because I just like having my bikini line covered. Ideally a high neck, something cute, optional skirt. I have considered a swim burka in desperation, usually I wear a worn out 12 year old one piece with a square neck that isn't awful, with a skirt over it. It's not cute. I'm not cute. I need help!

It was a true boat neck, which also meant that the back had full coverage too. I love the one you found! I just wish the back was covered up too.
