At the end of the year, the whole 7th grade is going to the beach, and it's supposed to be awesome.
The only problem is, I'm not exactly skinny. I'm sort of big. I don't want to wear a bathing suit, but I don't want to be sitting there all by myself on the beach!
Could I wear something else to go swimming, or what do I do?!

you can swim in shorts and a tank top. get some cute board shorts, like for surfing. whatever length you feel looks best on your legs. i like the longer ones, like the ones boys wear, but if you get those make sure they fit loosely in the leg. you can get the top half of a tankini bathing suit and you are good to go. i've had friends cover up on the beach with shorts and a tshirt but if you aren't wearing beachwear and you have sleeves on and all that i feel it looks more conspicuous, like you are embarrassed or uncomfortable. there are lots of big people at the beach, hanging out all over the place. its all in how you carry yourself. that goes for everyone, not just big people. walk confidently, have fun, don't draw yourself inward, trying to hide your body with your arms. just relax and put a bra under your tankini if you need to. dont let the straps stick out too much and dont wear ones that are thick and bra-ish.

i hear you girl! i know exactly what you mean. You can where whatever you want, but if you're feeling a little self concious, then get a cover-up, a beach skirt (im not sure what they're called) , or wear a t-shirt over your bathing suit! dont worry about what some dumb people think about you, just go out and have fun!

You shouldn't be ashamed! People with every body shape imaginable go to the beach. But if you are really worried how about a one piece bathing suit or tankini top with cotton shorts for a bottom?

Try a bathing suite with swim shorts. But you are beautiful the way you are so wear a bikini girl!!

wear a swim suit that looks good on top and you like and a pair of nylon type shorts over the bottom, when these shorts get wet they wont weigh down or get heavy and saggy like some will. my best friend is heavy and this is what she does. have fun , enjoy and don't worry about what people say.

Why not wear a bathing suit and shorts. You could probably find something cute that matched. Have fun!

wear maybe a one piece or a takini that covers your stomach. also, you can find bathing suits that have matching shorts or a skirt to swim with.
if not that, wear a shirt over a bathing suit, if you really arent that comfortable.
not everybody is comfortable in a bikini or bathing suit...
so dont feel bad about it

they have tankinis they are called basically a tank swim top that covers your belly, then a skort (skirt short) type bottom, they are smart looking and cover alot! Dont sit on the beach, go and have fun, you are only young once!

I would suggest getting a pair of those cute shorts that surfers generally wear. And for a top, you should go with a really cute tank top! Hope this helps!
