Vertical lines on the Roxy Wild Escape 70s Halter and Cheeky Brief (top, $42; bottom, $36; roxy.com) give your butt a visual lift, and the reinforced bust band helps prevent a wardrobe mishap.

The black panels and side piping on the Speedo Quantum Splice Super Pro Back ($78; speedousa.com) trim your waist and hips, while the built-in bra keeps you supported.

Sole mate: Go for a post-pool jog in Merrell Barefoot Water Swift Glove sneaks ($100; merrell.com).

Air-dry your suits: Heat from the dryer can break down a swimsuit's fabric, causing it to get stretched out.
