I bought my first suit some 10 or so years ago.
We had a backyard pool and I used it frequently. Didn't really care if the neighbors saw me as they wouldn't recognize me anyway when dressed.
Now we've retired and moved. We are by a lake, have a boat and now and then I'll wear one of my suits when we go out. It's so nice to enjoy the sun and the water.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I did a swimsuit photo shoot back in 2020 when my GG friend Michelle lived at a house with a nice pool. Unfortunately, she doesn't live there any more.
I now have a collection of swim suits, including some one piece suits, two piece, and a bikini. I got to wear three different combinations while in Atlantic City a couple of weeks ago, and have been out in Hawaii and Australia. Fun to be out, even if not going into the water because of the wig.

I have been normally wearing women's swimwear while swimming, but have a rash guard shirt on. This summer I started to wear the swimwear without the shirt on.
One piece swimsuits were my first pieces of CD clothing, about 25 years ago. I enjoyed swimming lessons and recreative swimming in public pools much more than in male swimwear. They fit well on my naturally wide hips. Then I dared wearing Adidas and Arena two pieces, in pools or flat open water. I started learning surfing more recently. It has been a good excuse to buy cute girly Roxy wetsuits/springsuits/sundresses, Decathlon surf bikinis with many colors to match my mood of the day, and OceansApart yoga sets for when I am on the mat training mobility and flexibility. Tops fit well on my chest now since some reasonable but noticeable curves have grown up there.
I also hate the ballooning effect you get with the usual men's swimwear, shorts and boardshorts. So that is one of the reasons I like one piece and bikini bottoms/tops.
I have worn a one piece many times and it feels wonderful.
Just and older girl trying to experience all that life can bring.

I was in Target yesterday, in man clothes, looking at swimming suits. No one said or did anything to make me uncomfortable. They had a whole rack on close out but I am not quite ready for that yet.
I did buy a short marked down to $7.50 and I loved it so much I almost wore it home.
