Summer is here, fo' reals, and that means it's time for swimsuits and the pool?which might mean actual swimming. The trouble with most of the supercute swimsuit options out there is?they're not actually designed with swimming in mind. Hell, some of them you can't even get wet. But as an athletic bunch of gals ourselves, it made sense to round up a collection of cute suits that have an added emphasis on function. Or at least are designed in a way to prevent any errant ladybits from flapping around, should you desire to swim a lap in a pool.
