I thought finally to do a quick photoset of all my swimsuits, although as I write this, I have since added another 2 swimsuits to my collection. My collection ranges from standard leaderback swimsuits and hydrasuits, to some less commonly found swimsuits such as the Speedo hooded swimsuit (pictured left) and the Speedo long-sleeved swimsuit.
Originally, my collection started out with just hydrasuits and open back swimsuits and never really thought about adding coverup swimsuits such as the Speedo Splash knee suit, Glow kneesuit and Flower legsuit. Although as a child I sometimes wore sunsuits swimming whilst living in hot climates, such suits didn’t feature again until quite recently.
The other main type of swimsuit is the professional range such as the Fastskin suits.
I have one of each main type of professional swimsuit – open back legsuit, sleeveless hydrasuit style legsuit, full body suit and a sleeveless hydrasuit style kneesuit. The only one I don’t have is the open back kneesuit – hopefully one day!
A couple of other specials are a Cressi-sub neoprene zip back swimsuit and a Barracuda neoprene zip back swimsuit (I have a few normal wetsuits but don’t count them as part of the collection!).
My collection continues to expand, but generally I focus on particular styles rather than having lots and lots of similar open back swimsuits, it is just too expensive to have one of each!
The collection can be viewed here and excluding any swimsuits bought since, stands at 33 suits!
