I found this new bathing suit at a quality clothing store priced at only $5 on the discount rack. Why, I wondered! I tried it on and it fit great! It allowed extra modest coverage in the back and a cute little skirt-like front that was very forgiving of my tummy.
I learned my lesson and will definitely check maternity bathing suits at the end of the season again in the future!

Tips and advice for saving money on bathing suits. Look for suits in discount outlets slightly out of season. I got a suit at the Saks outlet one winter. There are also deals at places like Ross.
Last year I purchased a new woman's swim suit for myself. I didn't know what to do with the smaller one that I couldn't wear to the pool.
To keep your swim suit from fading, go to your local pet store and purchase chlorine remover that you use for aquariums.
After I swim, I remove my swimsuit and drop it on the floor of the shower. I then proceed to shower, as the shower soap rinses the chlorine off me and my swim wear.
