I've been looking for swim binding alternatives. I tend to use my 997 binder for everything but know it has some problems if I go in the ocean, or pool from the bleach. I'm putting some thought into getting the underworks swim top, but I want to know more! Is there anybody with a large yet squishy chest that has experience with this binder? Does it work well for binding? I'm kind of worried about the top having too much room and fat spilling out of the armpit holes.
I've got th underworks swim top, and its not too bad. Its pretty much just like a normal underworks binder, except with a little zipper in the front for easier binding, and its got swimsuit material on top.
its pretty nice. I have small, firm breasts, and it binds well.

I haven't tried the underworks swimwear binder, but was considering just wearing a regular binder (how long did it take for yours to get affected by the salt or chlorine?) and wearing a swim shirt like this over it: http://www.eastessence.org/islamic-clothing/men/Mens-Furqat-Swimwear-UV-Chlorine-resistant.html (http://www.eastessence.org/islamic-clothing/men/Mens-Furqat-Swimwear-UV-Chlorine-resistant.html) Perhaps if you have bits being pushed out of the armholes, a swim-shirt could work too?

Salt water tore my 997 up after swimming in it once. Pool water, I think I did that once but never wore the binder again...and when I found it one day the whole back was shredded. I have a rash guard but it doesn't bind well, and I know the underworks swim shirt has a zipper in the front which could pose as a problem (it will be visible).
Why do you care if the zipper is visible? the swim clothes where I work are one piece shirt shorts type deal and have a zippered front. No one worries about it.
I go swimming at the beach all the time and salt water has never damaged my binder. As long as you rinse it out with fresh water when you're done with it, it shouldn't tear it up.
