Most women find swimsuit shopping about as pleasant as a trip to the dentist…for a root canal. So we’re so happy that Spanx has this amazing line of swimwear that not only looks sexy in a classy, ultra-feminine kind of way, but also doubles as shapewear!

These fabulous pieces lift, control and smooth your body to pool-ready, even if you haven’t seen the inside of the gym since pre holiday. It’s all in the fit and proportions, and Spanx swimwear flatters a woman’s body while camouflaging problem areas. You’ll feel confident and sexy at the pool or in the beach—and you’ll look the part!

We all know the great benefits of regular cardio workout, but sometimes, the treadmill can be a real drag. A great way to switch up your cardio routine is through swimming. Not only is it a great way to burn some serious calories (up to 400 calories in one 30 minute breaststroke session), but there’s no impact on your joints, so it’s a great workout to supplement more high imapct cardio activities like running.

For swimming laps, we recommend a good one-piece swimsuit , like the ingenious Spanx Chic Deep V Trim One Piece. This not only offers maximum shape control, it offers comfortable style that moves with you.  It offers the tummy control compression that Spanx is known for, so it’s equally as great at the beach or just lounging by the pool.
