Modest swim skirts for women by SwimZip

Why do women choose modest bathing suits?

Beyond sun protection, women choose modest swimwear for personal and practical reasons:

Religious and cultural beliefs inspire modest swimsuit choices that respect faith traditions.
Personal style preferences lead many to feel more confident in designs that provide extra coverage.
Sun-sensitive skin needs extra UV protection from modest suits.
Active water sports demand suits that stay secure during intense movement.
Post-pregnancy and post-surgery recovery periods benefit from gentle, protective coverage.
The resurgence of vintage fashion draws women to modest cuts for their timeless elegance.

Our stylish, modest swim skirts

In our collection of swim skirts, find modest designs you will gladly wear to swim laps at the pool, splash with your kids, or stroll along the beach boardwalk. Our solid color swim skirts effortlessly pair with your favorite swim tops.

Here is why you will love our A-line skirts:

High-rise waistbands sit comfortably at your belly button for a secure fit.

Our high-quality fabrics

Our UPF 50+ fabrics block 98% of harmful UV rays to protect your skin during outdoor activities. The four-way stretch material adapts to your movements, so your suit stays in place through every splash and dive.

The quick-dry fabric keeps you comfortable in and out of the water. Our fabric stands up to chlorine and salt water without breaking down, which means your suit maintains its shape and protection.

Our high-quality material for swim skirts and other sun-protective swimwear offers:

UPF 50+ protection reduces skin cancer risk.
Four-way stretch prevents riding up or slipping.
Quick-drying material stays light, never heavy.
Strong seams resist tears and snags.
Saltwater and chlorine-resistant fabrics preserve color and fit.
Temperature control for cold water activities.

Why is sun protection important?

UV radiation damages your skin in minutes. Without protection, UV exposure causes sunburns, sun poisoning, and premature aging. Each sunburn adds to your lifetime skin cancer risk.

The UV index predicts radiation levels each day. On high-index days, the sun will burn unprotected skin faster. Check this number before outdoor activities, especially at beaches and swimming pools.

The strongest protection comes from UPF 50+ swimwear that blocks 98% of UV rays. Regular shade breaks limit direct sun exposure. Children need protective clothing for every outdoor activity since sun damage accumulates over their lifetime. Monitor the UV index to plan safer outdoor time.

What is considered a modest bathing suit?

Modest bathing suits provide extra coverage through thoughtful design elements. Modest swim dresses flow past the hips, high-neck tops cover the chest and shoulders, and full-length swim pants protect the legs. Many styles add built-in support and removable straps to customize your coverage.

How can I style my modest swim skirt for a beach day?

How to create beach outfits with your modest swim skirt:

Floral print tankini tops add a pretty pattern to solid swim skirts for a coordinated beach look.
High-neck tankinis pair with swim skirts for extra sun protection.
Solid color swim tops match any printed swim skirt from your summer wardrobe.
Create a complete outfit with a cropped rash guard with ruffled details and your perfect swim skirt.
Long-sleeve swim tops give you head-to-toe coverage with swim skirts for active beach days.

Can I wear a tennis skirt for swimming in a pool?

Tennis skirts lack UPF protection and proper water-resistant fabric for poolside moments. A proper swim skirt dries quickly, resists chlorine, and includes a built-in liner for secure coverage during water activities.

How can I find the right swim skirt size?

Take correct hip measurements and compare them to our size chart. The high waistband should sit at your natural waist without squeezing. Order your regular clothing size, as our swim skirts match standard sizing.
