Now that Daylight Savings time is here, the countdown is on until summer. But since the anticipated season is still weeks away, how about planning a spring break trip while the kiddos are off school? Getting ready for a trip always involves shopping, and if you need some new things for yourself (hint, hint, a swimsuit), we can take a wild guess that stocking up on new swimwear is probably your least favorite thing to shop for, and we feel that. After all, who said that a piece of string was an acceptable form of poolside-clothing? Between chasing your child around the pool and taking a dip in the cool water, there are just too many fashion mishaps waiting to happen for active moms. Luckily, more and more brands have been listening to moms’ deepest swimwear woes (and just the general population’s struggle to find a good suit) and are stepping up to the plate to save the day. Mom-friendly swimwear is here, and no, it’s not drab.
