Swim Spot Review & $100 GC Giveaway (2 Winners)

I've always been a little nervous about buying bathing suits online. I thought it would be hard to match up pieces. And then if it didn't fit right it would be a big hassle to exchange it. But at Swim Spot, I learned that online shopping for swimware can be easy and fun. With dozens of styles and colors to choose from and free shipping both ways, you can find just the right swimsuit for any occassion.

I received a $100 Gift Code to Swim Spot so I could review not just a beautiful swim suit but also their fun website. They have a really cool feature called the bikini builder. It allows you to mix & match styles on the model to get a good idea of how the  different pieces will look together. Its like playing with a paper doll. After I was done my daughter played with it for an hour. 

It was a hard choice, but I finally settled on the Next By Athena - Find The Rhythm Tankini and Shorts. While I normally like to show my belly, this year I am still struggling to lose a few pounds after having a baby. So I'm not quite ready to show too much.  This swim suit was the perfect combination of style and modesty. Because I'm certainly not ready for a granny bathing suit. This set is super comfortable and gives plenty of support in all the right areas.  I love the bright color scheme and the shorts are perfect for days that a busy mom might not have time to touch up the bikini zone.  You know we all have that problem sometimes:)

Of course, for those of you not trying to hide the mommy muff, there are lots of sexy two piece and one piece swim suits that will have all eyes on you as you strut down the beach or lay out at the pool. Shipping is always free and if you pick something that you decide just isn't quite right, you can send it back for for free too.
