A bathing suit is a type of clothing designed to be worn while swimming or engaging in water-based activities. It is typically made of a stretchy, quick-drying fabric that is resistant to water damage and fading from exposure to sunlight. Bathing suits come in a wide variety of styles, ranging from one-piece swimsuits to bikinis, and can be designed for specific purposes such as competitive swimming, recreational swimming, or sunbathing.
