These suits are made from <a href="/wiki/Spandex" title="Spandex">spandex</a> and provide little thermal protection, but they protect the skin from jellyfish stings, sunburn, and abrasion. This kind of suit is also known as a 'Stinger Suit'. Some divers wear a dive skin under a wetsuit, which allows easier donning and (for those who experience skin problems from neoprene) provides additional comfort. </p><p>Unlike regular swimsuits, which are designed mainly for aesthetic appearances, swimsuits intended to be worn during competitions are manufactured to assist the athlete in swimming competitions. They reduce friction and drag in the water, increasing the swimmer's forward motion efficiency.

This also reduces the possibility that a high-forward dive will remove a diver's swimwear.

Those who did not swim in the nude stripped to their underwear. The English practice of men swimming in the nude was banned in the United Kingdom in 1860. Drawers, or <a href="/wiki/Cale%C3%A7on" class="mw-redirect" title="Caleçon">caleçons</a> as they were called, came into use in the 1860s. Even then there were many who protested against them and wanted to remain in the nude. <a href="/wiki/Francis_Kilvert" title="Francis Kilvert">Francis Kilvert</a> described men's bathing suits coming into use in the 1870s as "a pair of very short red and white striped drawers".<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png/250px-Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="172" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png/330px-Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png/500px-Punch_-_Masculine_beauty_retouched1.png 2x" data-file-width="2392" data-file-height="1870" /></a><figcaption>Cartoon by <a href="/wiki/George_du_Maurier" title="George du Maurier">George du Maurier</a> in <i><a href="/wiki/Punch_(magazine)" title="Punch (magazine)">Punch</a></i>, 1877, showing men's and children's bathing suits</figcaption></figure> <p>Female bathing costumes were derived from those worn at Bath and other spas. It would appear that until the 1670s, nude female bathing in the spas was the norm, and that after that time women bathed clothed. <a href="/wiki/Celia_Fiennes" title="Celia Fiennes">Celia Fiennes</a> gave a detailed description of the standard ladies' bathing costume in 1687: </p> <blockquote><p>The Ladyes go into the bath with Garments made of a fine yellow canvas, which is stiff and made large with great sleeves like a parson's gown; the water fills it up so that it is borne off that your shape is not seen, it does not cling close as other linning, which Lookes sadly in the poorer sort that go in their own linning.

His description does, however, tally with Elizabeth Grant's description of the guide's costume at Ramsgate in 1811. The only difference is in the fabric the costumes are made of. Flannel, however, was a common fabric for sea bathing costumes as many believed the warmer fabric was necessary in cold water.<sup id="cite_ref-Austen_39-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Austen-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 18th century women wore "bathing gowns" in the water; these were long dresses of fabrics that would not become transparent when wet, with weights sewn into the hems so that they would not rise up in the water.
