I’m ready for summer! Now, if only we could get a few days with summer weather! I’m so excited to have my swimwear for summer 2019 already picked out, now I am ready for a beach day!

Swimwear for summer 2019 is fun, flirty, and bright this year. Designers and brands have created a plethora of stripes, and tie dye swimsuit styles for the summer 2019 season. In addition to stripes and tie dye, we are also seeing solid colors in bright hues. It’s going to be fun to see everyone’s swimwear on the beach this summer!

I love the tie dye trend, so I found this fun cover up which can be tied around the waist as a skirt, or around the shoulders for more of a dress look. Cover-ups which can be tied different ways are always fun on summer days!

Stripes are also a huge trend this year. While stripes are technically a classic pattern, they really took the runways by storm for the spring and summer seasons; so they have entered “trend” territory this year. I love stripes! Since modest swimwear is my jam, I am excited to have found this blue and white striped tankini for the summer season.

My stripe tankini and tie dye cover-up will be paired with my huge floppy hat, and my favorite little PVC tote this summer for beach days, and pool parties. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up a bit!

Summer swimsuit sales and deals 2018 | one piece steals

summer swimsuits sales

There are so many fabulous one piece swimsuits on sale right now! Since swim season doesn’t really end until the end of October when temperatures just start to creep down, this is a great time to snag a new suit to carry you through early fall.

I love one piece swimsuits because I don’t have to worry about them when I jump in the pool with the kids. We can splash around, play, and do funny dives off the side of the pool into the water, and I don’t have to worry about my bikini top shifting out of place! Yikes!

When it comes to one piece suits, I am really picky. My one piece suit needs to to have high hips-but not too high; I don’t want to look like I stepped out of a 1980s clearance shop. My one piece suit also needs to support the, ya know, the girls, really well. No flimsy swimwear!

These summer 2018 sales and deals are so good, because you can never own too many swimsuits; and at these prices, it is hard to say no to a new suit!

Summer swimsuits sales and deal:  swimsuits under $50

 

When shopping the summer swimsuit sales, it is fun to keep current fashion trends in mind. Rainbows are huge right now, so it’s fun to find a swimsuit on sale with rainbow details. White is hot right now too, so an all-white suit is another fabulous and fashionable find during the summer sales. Of course, an all-black suit with interesting details is like the little black dress of swimwear; you can never go wrong with black!

What are you favorite one piece swimsuit styles this summer?

Swimming for fitness gear

If you have been following my swimming for fitness series, you might be thinking about getting some new gear for the pool! While most pools provide kickboards, pull boys, and paddles, you will need to bring your own swimsuit, goggles, and cap.

I am extremely picky when it comes to my swimming for fitness gear. I trust two brands to supply quality construction, comfort, and performance enhanced gear. These two brands are Speedo, and Nike. Over the years, I have found these are the two brands I can trust to manufacture the ideal gear for swimming.

When it comes to swimsuits, Nike and Speedo make the most comfortable suits. If you are looking for swimsuits for fitness, both brands are perfect. If you want to move into competitive swimming, I would recommend standing by Speedo. All of their gear is engineered for performance, and I have to admit, every record I set as a child was done in a Speedo swimsuit, with Speedo “Sprint” goggles on my head.

Since swimming for fitness is not necessarily a performance situation, you can have a little bit more fun with your gear. Both Nike and Speedo make really cute, and comfortable, two piece suits in both tankini, and bikini form. These are great for working out in the pool since you can keep your belly out, and it can get a little sun.

When you swim a lot, especially in the summer months, the one-piece suit can give you what I like to refer to as a “Speedo tan.” This is a very modest, one-piece tan which makes your white torso look bright in a bikini. The two-piece suits by Nike and Speedo are great for eliminating this stark white belly problem by allowing the sun to tan your belly while you workout. Love that!

Unfortunately Speedo does allow clipping from their website, so I cannot provide a scroll bar for you with my picks. You can find fabulous swimsuits, goggles, and caps online at Speedo.com. I am sure you will find something you love!

My picks from Nike, and other websites, are in the scroll bar below. I hope you find the swimming for fitness gear you love! Happy swimming, and stay fabulous 😉
