Anyone swim?

I used to swim competitively and also coach swim team. I haven't swam since high school, but I wanted to start back up again. Problem is, there is no way in HELL I can fit into my one piece from high school - my boobs took a beating with breastfeeding. I have pretty big breasts (36-38 E) and I am looking for a one piece that will be able to support them (under $100) I can do laps in. The only one I found is online at bravissimo.com, but I'm scared to order a swimsuit online. Has anyone seen a suit I can get?

    My H is a competitive swimmer, but I don't think he will be much help. :)

    Hvve you looked at Athleta? They make suits in larger cup sizes.

    I used to swim competitively too! But I'm no help- I'm a B cup :(

    Were you a sprinter or distance swimmer?

    I swim b/c my knee sucks but my boobs are not very big.  Dicks had a lot of swim suits though.

    I'm *was* a sprinter...backstroke was my best stroke. I only really swam summer because I was in band during the school year and that took up a ton of time. But for only swimming competitively during the summer I was pretty good.

    The reason I'm getting back into swimming is because of my knee. I was doing the elliptical/running for a few years and my knee finally gave out over the summer. Nothing too major - just my alignment is off. Lucky one of my friends is a PT and will help me with orthotics, but until then I need some exercise!

    I'll definitely look into Athleta - thanks for the suggestion!

    I just thought of another one!

    Lands End. They have larger cup size suits.

    This. I've always had really good luck getting larger cup sizes.

    Frankly, the idea of getting back into a race suit scares me.

    Tell me about it! I had to in college for Greek Games (I was in a bunch of the water games) and the freshman 15 was not kind. Nor was the sophomore 15 lol. Thank G-d I lost most of it, but I'm still as out of shape as they come!

    I swam and coached as wellSmile  Do you have any swim shops in the area?  We have a couple and they have special ordering.  Because I was a coach they give me a discount so it ends up being reasonable. 

    Speaking of race suits...I just had to try mine on yesterday.  It's not that bad, so with a little more training I should be okay.

    I vote Lands End as well. Got a suit there recently that works as both a leisure suit and a racing suit. I figure once I drop some more of this baby weight that I'll be able to get back into the speedo brand suits (I hope!).
