Hi All! I am struggling with getting a one-piece swimsuit. So far I have not been able to find my size XS or zero in swimsuits, and I was wondering/hoping individuals on here could help me. I have been on the speedo website looking at the moderate ultrabacks but I can't find any my size! Maybe there is a website or a different brand that I am missing?
 
Thank you! However, I just checked their suits, the moderate cut racerback's smallest size is 6, which doesn't fit. :((
 
Also, look at the Big Girls sizes. I am a little woman--and sometimes I have to buy from the Juniors or Girls (Big Girls) sizes.
(For those on the forum who actually know me...if it looks like a Lands End School Uniform Skirt...it is...and I don't want to talk about it.)
It is just part of being small. When you go to Airborne School, you will be able to float all day!
Lands End and Swim Outlet should have Girls sizes. You might have to grab a tape measure to figure out if you are a 10-12-14--or order a couple and send back the ones that do not fit.
 
We found it on Amazon for my DD... not sure what sizes were available but it's a place to check...
 
My DD are swimmers/ divers. If you buy a suit in competitive sizing you will have more luck. They are different than the typical xs, s, m etc or 0,2,4. If you are a xs, get a 26. Swimsuit outlet is a great place to get a variety of suits at different prices. This particular suit has been a favorite for my diver and my swimmers as a practice suit and it’s relatively inexpensive. The same brand has more simple color choices as well: https://m.swimoutlet.com/p/sporti-molecule-thin-strap-one-piece-swimsuit-8132050/?color=9755

Good luck. A 24 would be like a girls 10, my oldest DD gets a 26 for competition but it’s super tight on her. For practice she’s a 28. She typically wears smalls and 2s but has a really athletic build and a long torso. Her taller leaner younger sister also wears the same sizes is usually an XS and 0-2 in women’s sizes. The 26 is snug on her. She also wears a 28 for practice (she’s 5’8” and 115lbs). The youngest who is 12, about 92lbs and 5 feet can wear the women’s 26 for competition and sometimes steals one of her sisters’ 28s for practice. So, there’s a big range but I think you’ll find they stay on and fit well. A lot depends on how snug you like your suit. They do stretch. Good luck! Hopefully this helped a bit!

I should also add you can find many other brands (speedo or nike for example) that use the same sizing. I’d recommend the competition type suits just because they are meant for athletic swimming and really stay on. And they do come in really small sizes (26). Feel free to message me and I’ll be happy to share some of the many suit buying tips I’ve developed over the past 5 years as a swim parent. My three girls are all very different in build and taste- I think we have owned almost every type and brand of suit over the past 5-6 years. Since the oldest swam 2-4 hours every day- we went through lots of suits!
 
Jolyn is a popular suit company for many competitive female swimmers and every one I know loves them if you want to check them out.
 
Try the Swim Outlet website- they have a good selection of one piece swim suits in the numeric sizing- 26, 28, etc.
 
Is there anywhere where we can find the regulations on the women's swimsuit or does anyone know what they are?
