Swimming/Bathing/Beach Costume
Cossies
Bikini/One Piece/Two Piece
Trunks/Boardshorts

I seem to teeter between the first two, although I do say bathing suit more often methinks. In any case pretty typical, at least where I am from!

Bathing suit

Bathing suit, but if I'm describing the type of bathing suit, it's a one or two piece, but I also use the term bikini for a two piece, if it's "more reveling" like a string bikini or where the top essentially looks like a standard underwire bra.

Bathing suit.

Bathing suit. Swimsuit once in a while.

In the water every morning. I wear swim trunks, bathing suit top and a t-shirt over it. And water shoes.

Bathing suit.

Haha, now that I try to think about it, I don't know which term I use most. I think maybe swimsuit but maybe bathing suit. Probably about equal, depends on the circumstances.

Who says "cossies"? What's that short for?

I think I use the term swimsuit

Bathing suit.

I used to have a bathing suit but I have not seen or worn it in over 30 years. I am too fat.

Bathing Suit or Tankini

Bathing suit; sometimes swim suit.

Bikini.

Swimsuit.

Bathing suit

swimsuit or bathing suit interchangeably.

Bather

Bathing suit

What are cossies? That sounds like some kind of social disease.

"Look. There's Bill. Don't go out with him. I hear he has the cossies".

It is an abbreviation for costume. It does sound contagious.
