school swimsuit

A standard school-issued one-piece swimsuit usually blue, black, white or grey in color sometimes with the wearer's name written or printed on a white name tag stitched across the chest. The style has evolved over the years.

The original old school swimsuit has thicker shoulder straps, vertical seams over torso and a flap over the groin. The new school swimsuit is the same, except with no flap over the groin.

The competition school swimsuit has thinner shoulder straps, is unseamed and has no flap over the groin. It is closer in style to the more modern competition swimsuit, but still in the style of a school swimsuit.

The non-traditional school swimsuit is a swimsuit that has been patterned after a school swimsuit, but is two-piece, frilled, or has other alterations to it that deviate from the norm.
