Not all workouts are in a studio or gym — or on land, for that matter. For those of you who prefer to spend your fit sessions in the water, we have great news: sexy and sporty are not mutually exclusive entities, and you don't have to sacrifice function for fashion — or vice versa. From aquatic yoga and SUP to lap swimming and surfing, we've searched for the cutest 'kinis and one pieces that'll make you look as good as you feel when you're working out in the pool or the sea.
Just like a sports bra for the beach, this Athleta top seamlessly blends fashion and function.
Cue the late '80s beach volleyball ad with this retro two-piece set. Victoria's Secret always has a pretty stacked lineup of cute, affordable swimwear, but this sporty combo just stole our hearts.
Victoria’s Secret Colorblock High-Neck Top and Cheeky Short ($59-$73 for the set, depending on color)
This South American label has some seriously steamy designs (think Brazilian cut bottoms and thongs, racy cutouts, and intricate macrame). This fashion-forward style has the right amount of coverage and security for an active day on the water, and the high-neck look is right on trend for Spring.
AYRA Swimwear Ana Top and Bottom ($197 for set)
Ohhhhkay, so this design took your standard lap-swimming one piece and added a gorgeous, intricate design. Warning: you may get some jealous stares at your gym's pool.
Ale by Alessandra Bahia Coast Brazilian One-Piece Swimsuit ($170)
Planning a tropical adventure? We've got a suggestion: this suit. The higher neck will ensure that everything stays covered and secure, while the tropical print and strappy back detail keep you feeling fresh and stylish.
Stone Fox Namena Top and Capri Bottom ($176 for set)
For a classic sport design, this one has definitely been given a makeover. Colorblocking, small cutouts, and criscross straps give this secure top a very tasteful update.
Looking for a rashguard or wetsuit, but don't want the fuss of neoprene? We've got the perfect solution. This piece is ideal for scuba, snorkel, or jetski activities.
This bright, feminine piece would also make an awesome sports bra for hot yoga.
Athleta Smocked Bikini ($56)
We're sure you've deduced already, but high necks and mesh are really popular this Spring. Try both trends in this punchy, summery one-piece.
Taking style cues from a surfer is always a good idea when you're looking for a beautiful, sport-ready bikini, right? Especially when that surfer is the very stylish Alana Blanchard.
With a wraparound design, this bralette style will keep you supersecure when you're paddling out or working on your backstroke.
Paying homage to a certain '90s TV show, this classic one piece is a fresh, stylish take on what's in your gym bag.
This bold style from Nike's surf brand Hurley would be just as appropriate in the water as it would be paired with a high-waisted skirt — the leathery effect, cutout, and sultry silhouette keep it incredibly stylish, while the security and coverage keep you stress-free in the pool or ocean.
One of the top brands in sport swimwear, Aqua Sphere is more known for their function than fashion-forward designs. However, this periwinkle beauty is totally on trend with Pantone's cooler color of 2016, serenity.
Nordstrom's activewear brand, Zella, has an equally sporty swim line that'd be perfect for your next aquatic adventure.
This one SCREAMS retro surfing, right? The zipper, the high neck, the loud color and print . . . yes.
Iconic swimwear designer Tori Praver has a collection for Target and it's super. duper. hot. Plus, the bralette style makes it extra sporty, which makes sense, given her surf background. Super chic, without the designer pricetag. WIN. If you're not feeling the hot pink, the bikini comes in black, too.
Tori Praver Seafoam Women's Bralette Bikini Top Hot Pink ($35)
Are you for up for scuba? This wetsuit-inspired piece will take you from deep sea diving to seaside yoga in a flash, and it's oh so sexy.
This reversible number is like two pieces in one, making it the perfect addition to your gym bag. It's got removable cups and an adjustable tie-back so you'll have a custom, secure fit for when you're doing laps.
With full coverage and a shelf bra, you'll be totally secure for your laps and headstands on your stand-up paddle.
Athleta makes some beautiful longline sports bras — this is the same thing, but for swim. Think SUP yoga, kayaking, or lap swimming. Just wait until you see the detail on the back of this one!
Athleta Strappy Bikini ($49)
Stylish athletic attire is the name of the game at Lululemon, and their swim product is no exception. From personal experience, I can tell you the quality is quite good, and my 'kini held up in Tulum while jumping into freshwater cenotes.
Sporty colorblocking meets a classic triangle silhouette, with a little more security than the string bikini. Doubled fabric means no cheap liners or mildewing, and it's machine washable, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
AYRA Swimwear Camila Top ($99)
We know, right? How is this a Speedo? Try a trendy take on a classic, trusted brand with this bandeau top.
