Mostly this is for women, but I hope that some men will chime in and mention places where men can get summer sport attire that conforms to their own religious modesty laws, too.

Swimsuits:

http://www.aquamodesta.net/3-2604B-1 styles.html (conforms to Jewish standards; with addition of a Lycra/spandex hijab, would conform to Muslim standards)

http://www.ahiida.com/index.php?a=subcats&cat=20 (conforms to Jewish and Muslim standards)

http://www.wholesomewear.com/ (conforms to Mormon standards, but you can get the extended arms and legs, which go all the way to knees and elbows; these do not come with headwear)

http://tinyurl.com/36kdg5 (covers the skin admirably for sun protection, but a bit body-revealing for those whose concerns are primarily religious)

http://store.sunprotectiveclothing.com/canada/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=97 (again, more sun-protection than religion-supportive)

http://www.equatorsun.com/ (sun protection for children)

http://www.xen.co.za/swimwear/fullsuits/fullsuits.php?product=dive_suit (marketed as a dive suit, but equally suitable for sun protection)

http://www.mustaqim.co.uk/clothing/ (conforms to more liberal Muslim requirements)

http://www.primomoda.com/clothing-store/home.php?cat=1 (Muslim standards; the overdress is a bit short for Jewish standards)

Sportswear:

http://www.primomoda.com/clothing-store/home.php?cat=8 (Muslim and Jewish standards. I have two of these. They are really fashionable, but made of a fabric that doesn't allow much in the way of stretching and bending. Really only suitable for jogging, which is not my sport.)

Any others? Go ahead and post!

Sweet, Divash!

The more I think of it, the more this makes sense. I know I don't want anyone gawking at me. Fortunately for me, the only place I swim is at my own home.

I'm just glad these sorts of things exist even though I don't swim in the public that often.

Do we have a modest clothing thread? It would be nice to share different things and tricks for those of us trying desperately to do better with the dress code.

One request; Can you trim down your links into something that doesn't stretch the page? <.<
