Well I have been running diligently for cardio, but the weather is starting to be a serious problem, so today I figured I would go to the local pool and start swimming laps instead of running...but first I need to buy a new bathing suit. I cannot find any stores that sell them this time of year!

So where do you buy your swim trunks during autumn?

Thanks,

Well, I can't say this will work for you, but I found a great deal on one around this time years ago at Dillard's in a tucked away 'sale' section. You may try department stores and see if they have any.

Otherwise... there's always ordering over the Internets!

When I was big (and therefore bought all my clothes at Evans which virtually has a monopoly on clothing for big women here) I needed a bathing costume at around this time of year and there werent any in my local branch. They were classed as a seasonal item and I was shopping out of season...

Anyway - I phoned them up and asked whether any shops in their chain still stocked them.

I discovered that one branch in the area had been nominated the "bathing costume branch" and all the other branches had been instructed to send their surplus stock there. I went and found that I actually had a choice over what to get. It therefore worked out better than I imagined possible.

With that experience in mind - I suggest that you contact the store that you would go to if it were in season and ask them the same question. You might get a similar answer.

Some plus size lingerie shops sell them year round because of cruises. May be an option, good luck in your search.

Maybe Marshalls.

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I'll try contacting a few stores...

small world! I grew up in langley (but now I'm in abbotsford)

Shop online.

Problem solved. Sears still has some in stock.

Today went well. Burned off a lot of energy doing laps, and met some attractive lifeguards ... but now a few hours later my body is covered in a rash! I guess I'm allergic to chlorine maybe?

*sigh*

awww..that just sucks... It has happened to me before when i went to the pool regularly, so i started to take an antihistamine before i went swimming. It didn't completely stop it, but definitely lessened it. Won't work for everyone im sure, but it may be worth a shot. Take care

It might be worth trying a different pool as one may use a different dilution factor compared to another...
