Front-zip swimsuits are the way to go.

Yes, or magnetic-closure suits. Anything that doesn’t require twisting, bending, or wrestling a wet suit over your head. Look for “adaptive swimwear” from brands like Swimsuits For All or Tommy Cooper – they make suits that open completely in the front or back with zippers or magnets.

The real trick is avoiding the struggle of getting a one-piece on and off when your shoulders or hips are tight. A two-piece rash guard and swim shorts with a side zipper works too. Or a suit with an internal bra and a wrap-style top. If you’re in a wheelchair, consider a skirted bottom that’s easier to get on while seated.

Don’t overlook the fabric: get something with UPF 50+ so you’re not frying while taking extra time to get in and out of the water. And if you’re helping someone else, look for suits with grab loops or handles.

Future You deserves a swimsuit that doesn’t require a three-minute limbo dance to remove.
