With summer coming up, I had a question for everyone out there. What do you do when you go swimming? This is more aimed at FTM individuals out there. Do yall have any strategies?

Underworks has a swimming binder, but I didn't care for it at all. I ended up wearing an old worn out binder under a rash guard. Luckily I just had top surgery, so for once I'm excited about a summer of comfort!

I actually have a DD chest and I just wore a older, stretched-out binder and a pretty tight-fitting black t-shirt and I still passed magnificently. Just try out a few options and see what works. Try to find a quick-drying shirt so that it doesn't cling to your skin as long.

LUCKILY I live in the Pacific Northwest USA, so it's chilly and people don't look at you weird if you're a guy wearing a swim shirt, or even a full body suit. I wear my tank style binder under my swim shirt, and trunks with a tight pair of briefs to make sure my packer doesn't flop out in the water.
TKingdom makes nice full body swimsuits, I'd love to get one of those but I REALLY love my trunks! I don't want to replace then

For right now, I just don't swim, but Loveboat has a nice binding swimsuit I might consider if top surgery becomes too far off.

I'll just present as female when swimming. I love bikinis, so....

I am looking to work as a lifeguard, so I am looking into my options.

even though I presented as female at the time, I still loathed my chest, so I wore tight layered sports bras (one backwards, one forwards [NOT racerback!]) and my work-issued lifeguard shirt
they didn't care what type of swimsuit we had as long as it was red and modest, so I wore baggy trunks
I never packed while swimming, but when I pack on land, I just safety-pin a tightly rolled sock into my boxer briefs, so I assume the same method would work in trunks as long as you attached it to the liner

This past summer I wore a tiny pair of American Apparel trunks and a bikini top with a muscle shirt (The kind where the side holes go down to at least the belly button). I might try out a binder swimsuit since I'm not too keen on the bikini.
My girlfriend has a free spa session for the two of us but I've been kind of putting it off because I don't know what to wear...

I wear trunks and a binder with a tshirt over it. Be careful though, chlorine isn't good for binders so make sure to wash it soon after.

I wear my clothes. I didn't go swimming for at least 5 years because the dysphoria was too much. Now I can only handle private pools with loved ones.
