Nahanni swim suit
Fab pattern and easy to follow

Not only is it good for swim but gymnastics and cheer as well!
My girls love being able to have cheer sets that fit their bodies. It can be so had to find something that fits in all the places needed. Store bought just does not cover my girls and stay in place. Nahanni is the best!
