From 8th Century BC through 6th Century AD, swimming was done in the nude or in one's underwear. In Victorian times, swimsuits started entering the picture more, but their bulkiness and loose fabric posed a hazard. By the time the 20th Century came around, swimming became a popular pastime and swimsuits were streamlined. Swimsuits are now made to showcase a swimmer's playful personality or to amplify their need for speed in the water. We would like for you to show us a swimsuit from any period of time or one that has not been invented yet that will make us want to hit the pool, splash at a waterpark, or lounge in a beach chair for a little sunbathing.
