Swimming

[Sophy95]

Hi all,

I am new here. I was wondering how many of you go swimming crossdressed if so what do you wear??

I would love to swim crossdressed but not sure the best way

I have never done this before, but I have always wanted to. Being old and fat I would probably wear one of the skirted one piece swimsuits like my wife wears.

[docrobbysherry]

I prefer my mermaid outfits. The tails make u swim differently! But, I suggest one piece suits or a wet suit if u want to swim with forms on!:battingeyelashes:

Sophy,

Welcome to the forum,when you get ten posts up you can see a shot of me in the photo gallery, even with one piecers you have to watch your form. :-)

[Tracii G]

Never really gave it much thought but thats a great question.
Probably a one piece for me but I doubt I would look OK in it.

[Cheryl T]

I love to go boating and swimming...
This was last summer... 301729

I have another tankini and a bikini that I wear and I can't wait for this summer to arrive.

Sophy,
I'm getting myself prepared to go the coast and have a bit of a splash when things warm up , I bought my swim suit last year , that was fun trying one on in the changing room . The hair is the problem getting real hair or a wig wet is probably best to be avoided .

As for a swim suit style I chose a black onepiece with a small skirt just to solve problems with tucking issues and my normal forms work fine .

I wore this bikini bottom and sports bra top last summer in my own pool, and this one-piece swimsuit the last time I swam in a hotel pool. (I was en-femme all weekend at the hotel.)

At the hotel pool, my daughter and I ended up being joined by a mom and three young boys, who did not know me, and none of whom reacted at all to me in any way other than seeing me as a woman.

Remember to use waterproof makeup! I had not realized my eyeliner wasn’t waterproof at the hotel pool, and after a while my eyes were a mess.

In both of these pictures, I am wearing a synthetic wig. I just made sure it was pinned on well, and had no problem swimming. You can see in the one at the hotel my hair is quite wet.

[Joyce Swindell]

I have no photos but I usually wear a one piece with a skirt. I have two very different ones. One is bright red and was a hand me down from my current wife and the other one is much a more conservative brown that I purchased.

I've worn both out to the beach and the pool on a few occasions.

[GretchenJ]

this is very strange.. I had the same question yesterday !

The question I had in particular is what happens to your wig once it is exposed to either pool or ocean water ?

[t-girlxsophie]

Wore swimsuit on holiday in Zante,Greece but kept it for late night on balcony with my wife,The world's just not ready for that sight :)

Sophy,

I swim at the "Y" without my wig and have a swim cap on. If I am just going in the lazy river to walk or sit in the spa I wear my wig. These suits are all made with pockets for forms.

I've only gone as far as wearing panties under my male swim shorts but I would love to get a bikini and swim in it and get a bikini tanline ��

[Ceera]

Gretchen, you can wear a wig in a swimming pool, lake or sea water just fine. Just rinse it and dry it properly after you get back to your room/home. I was in the habit of having two identical synthetic wigs with me. One I wore into the pool, and one I switched to when I was done swimming. That way I did not have to wait for the wet one to dry. I rolled it in a towel, then placed it on a wire loop wig stand on the bathroom counter to air dry. It was ready to brush out and wear again by the time I got back from dinner.

I now have a human hair “crown extension” that remains attached with surgical glue. I towel dry it and then blow dry it like it was my own hair.

I have my eye on a black swim skirt to wear instead of trunks. But since most of my swimming is at hotel pools with the kids or at my mom's I won't really be able to wear it ever.

[Angie G]

15 years ago we had a above ground pool but that was before I was out to my wife so I never used the pool as Angie. Or have had the chance to swim crossdressed. :hugs:

Thank you for your thoughts. I was wondering about tucking and if breast forms would work.

One quick question which swimsuits/swimwear work best and what brand??

[freeindress]

I found that forms and tuck are best held by snug-fitting one-piece swimsuits with PBT instead of spandex. Besides Speedo's Endurance+ fabric and similar competitors, I like Turbo.es that makes highly resistant swimsuits with very little stretch (for those CD's that can fit into female average sizing range).
Another brand is Decathlon/Olaian that has a line of snug-fitting surfwear for advanced surfers who may fall in powerful waves and do not want to lose their top (or find the bottoms on the leash). Their zipper closed back bra should keep forms from escaping. But avoid their 1-pc's, long sleeves or sleeveless, they do not have any buitin bra.
On China's aliexpress, search for surf suits also (called rash guards) with removable soft cups, where forms can be inserted. I got one from Riseado Official Store.

U brought back painful memories of last summer, Gretchen! I was shooting mermaid videos in my pool and my wig kept coming off!:Angry3:
Be sure your wig is a tite fit before u jump in!:thumbsup:

[Ceera]

I tuck using a gaff thong from Janet’s Closet. Hides everything quite well, even with a skimpy bikini bottom.

Most of my solid silicone forms work fine. Any one-piece or top with sufficient coverage to conceal the forms should work. Many companies make swimsuits specifically designed for women who have lost one or both breasts - they have pockets for the breast forms in the bra cups!

[Rochal Tukque]

Hi Sophy, that is indeed a soul searching question! I guess for some bless with more femme body would be a good start. For me it's a wetsuit snorkeling in drab.

[ReineD]

My SO did this only once. There was a small pond nearby on a property owned by a gay man, open to local LGBTs to hang out sometimes. My SO went in a one piece suit with breast forms underneath. I don't think my SO had much in common with the other folks (gays and lesbians) and the experience was not repeated. Also, I think that going swimming was out of the question, given the makeup and the carefully styled hair.

If you don't want to or can't tuck, get a bathing suit where the bottom is covered by a piece of fabric that makes it look like a skirt. they come in one or two piece.

It depends on what type of swimming
For a 1Km swim, I tend to
a) leave the breast form in my bag as they add too much drag even though they feel soooo nice.
b) have a sports swimsuit as sold by my local pools
c) leave the wig at home

If its a casual swim at the local beach, then just a casual outfit (please note, synthetic wigs do not respond like normal hair when wet)

As to tucking, worst case situation, your equipment ends up as "rude" as if you were wearing speedo

I have swam a couple of times in a one piece. The first time was 19 years ago. On a business trip and decided to go and swim in the outdoor hotel pool in the late evening. Changed into the one piece near the pool...eventuall one woman came in to swim..I kept my shoulders below the water line so she would not see me in my one piece...she eventually left and then I got out of the pool, changed back into drab and back to the room. Other times have been very very early in the morning in my pool in the backyard..only when my wife is not around... it is a wonderful feeling...

[Steph70kk]

I just did this morning at a Hotel in the Netherlands. I was wearing this:

didn't go into the water but did go to the beach. 301758

[Alyssa Lane]

I swim all the time at home in my pool with either a one piece or bikini. I’m sure my neighbor noticed when I was laying out to dry in my bikini on the deck when they cam outside into the backyard beside me, no fence to separate our property in the country

[MsEva]

Oh, that sounds like fun. I have put on a one piece swimsuit quite a few times but never got the nerve to go out swimming. I was able to sun bathe on my deck then.

[Jennifer2918]

was on a road trip and saw a hot springs resort near my hotel advertising lab swimming in their 'naturally warmed pool' every morning from 7 to 9. I called them right at 7 and asked if a guy could swim in a one piece suit and the girl said, 'like a speedo?' And I said, no, more like a one piece female suit. Without hesitation she said sure, no problem. When I arrived their were a few other lap swimmers in the pool already. The girl I spoke with on the phone was the person collecting the entry fee, $5. We chatted for a minute and she told me I was not the first guy to wear a female suit there. In fact, there was 'Bob' who wore one all of the time. She directed me to the changing rooms and I was off. Once dressed, I took a deep breath and walked out to the pool. I got a couple of looks, but once I started swimming, no one seemed to care.

Once the lap swimming time had ended, I asked the girl at the resort if I could browse in their shop. She said no problem and enjoy.

Overall it was a great day.

By the way, the hot springs was near Bishop California.

I went to the Beach while camping in Canada last summer,no one gave me a glance,so I was in heaven.I wear a swimdress because it covers my skinny hips.Sorry but my pic won't upload

[abby054]

I swim in a one piece. I have three swimsuits: a bright red one with some ruching in the material that helps create a curvy figure, a dark blue one, and a yellow one with black trim that shapes the illusion of a curvy figure. All have a built in bra of sorts. I use clear swim breast forms that stick to my chest. I have been swimming maybe a half dozen times in pools in these suits. There was no problem at all from the staff or other swimmers. For a coverup between swims, I use a lightweight thigh-length tunic, the kind styled for those who wear leggings in the springtime. I stay out of the sun most of the time to avoid tan lines and my family's propensity to skin cancer. I do have several bikinis but at my age even the most daring of GGs rarely wears a bikini. I really like how a bikini feels but the rest of the world would probably not survive the sight of all of me hanging out of a bikini.

I have been out in a swimsuit twice. The first was to a spa which had just opened so it was arranged that I could use the outdoor hot tub. I wore a black figure control one-piece and was served champagne and canapes in the tub. It was really fun. Then I was staying in a hotel as Susan and it had a pool and an indoor hot tub. I wore the same one-piece and both times I wore old breast forms and an old wig in case the good ones got damaged. Both establishments provided full length dressing gowns as cover ups. For a pool you have to be sure you are well shaved near the top of your legs. I have hairy arms that I am not prepared to shave but so do some women. I now have a swim skirt that goes over a costume in the same colour (black). This is all putting me in mind of having another Susan holiday in a nice hotel.

[Nastasha]

I wear a one piece, have 2 of them and I wear them to the beach and the river.

[abby054]

How true!! I must be extra careful because that is one place where a shaving rash rises to a whole new level of irritation. I must also be careful shaving between my legs. I have no thigh space so stubble has its own problems there. I shave again in season or, after the season, I wear bike shorts or tight boxers while the stubble grows back in.
