Spring's here!!! But....what modest attire can you wear to swim in??

Spring's here! Time for sunscreen, swimming pools, beaches....

Which may bring up a question for some modest-dressing females: What could I wear that's modest while swimming, but still doesn't make me sweat profusely?

First, I would suggest searching online for modest swimming attire. Everyone has different tastes, and I'm sure you'll at least find one thing you like.

But what do I wear for swimming?

Ah, I sometimes wear black leggings and a skirt that comes way above my knee. As I ( seem to ) keep growing ( taller ), my skirts get shorter. ( And the leggings cling to my skin, and I don't think that's exactly appropiate. )

I found a " dress " at Wal-Mart once. Not necessarily made to be a swim dress, but I've decided that since I like to wear longer dresses and skirts in public, I'm going to use it for swimming.

5 Months Is A Really, REALLY Long Time......

These next five months may feel like infinity. While I'm going to enjoy them, I'm going to be SUPER GLAD when they're over. ( I'll be blogging along the way. :) And afterwards of course. )

I was thinking about posting some of my dance costumes and my dance practice attire on here ( none too revealing ), just to give you a general idea of what we're given to perform in. Then I'd post pictures of my modest attire and head coverings to compare. ( Maybe a dance pic on one side and a modest dress pic on the other side. )

What do y'all think?

Modesty

( disclaimer: I do not post to offend other people or force my beliefs on others. I am simply stating my beliefs and opinions, you, dear reader, have the right to agree or disagree with me. )

I have a problem with females ( women, teens, young girls ) just throwing on whatever they can pull out of their wardrobe without giving a thought as to whether it's 1. Too tight. 2. Revealing. 3. Provocative. Some don't give a rat's behind about their attire, but I also know some simply don't know how their clothing looks on them.

Our bodies are a temple of our Creator, and we should respect them.

Modesty isn't something that's widely promoted in our culture; rather immodesty and provocativeness. Many are blinded by the media, current fashions, etc.

Now, that being said, there are some females who do wear modest clothing. They have respect for their bodies, and don't flash a lot of skin. ( I'm not talking about a burqa here, I'm talking about a skirt versus booty shorts. )

Head coverings? Yes, there are some non-Amish, non-Mennonite females who do don a head covering, yet unless you live in an Islamic communitity you are unlikely to see many head covering women.
