Subject: Training swim gear for the well endowed ladies
I joined this forum specifically because I'm stumped in what to wear for training in the pool. I read the awesome thread on sport bra recommendations (bought a shock absorber last weekend) and hope you all can help me.

I've been swimming in a pull over sports bra that is too small and a tri top and running shorts. A regular suit has almost no support and between my 34G's and long torso, even with a sports bra regular swimsuits cut me off somewhere. And the razorback of almost all tri suits just kills my neck.

I've looked on Speedo and Tyr website, but I'd love any suggestions of what I can swim in that will hold up for my 2-3x a week in the pool.

In summary any suggestions of:
1. tri tops that don't have a razorback
2. where I can find swim 'shorts' that will hold up to an hour in the pool.
3. any other suggestions for what you swim in?

Have you considered a tankini for training?  Something like this:

In the past, I've also used the AquaTerra collection from Lands End and it looks like they have shorts:

For me (40DD), I will wear a regular swimsuit and sports bra for the pool, and for races I wear my sports bra under a men's tri top.
 
Good luck!
