It’s the perfect time to get ready for the summer swimwear season. Long-sleeve swimsuits are essential for water sports such as surfing, snorkeling and kayaking. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to compromise style. Many great options provide the perfect amount of support, coverage, and snugness. We’ve collected our top picks for swimsuit brands, whether you’re looking to stock up on two-pieces, tankinis or one-piece swimsuits. We all want to be prepared for any last-minute kayaking trip or beach escape, so we’ve compiled a list of our favorite swimsuit brands. Now is the best time to get a few essential pieces, especially with Memorial Day right around the corner.

We all know that not everyone is interested in the “skin-is-in” look. We all want to surf the waves with the best sun protection. Long-sleeved swimwear may not be the ideal image for a sunny beach day. We know how essential UPF protection (alongside sunscreen) is for staying safe from the sun for long hours. This is where long-sleeved bathing suits step up. With our recommendations for the best long-sleeve bathing suits, you’ll still be the most stylish person at the pool or lake.
