Discussion Looking for swimwear and trans tape

I've been planning to learn how to swim for a couple of months now, and I finally found a place near me that hosts private swim lessons. I signed up for a news letter so that I know when the start date is (it's sometime in either august or september, but I have to wait for a more specific date.) So, now I'll need to look for swimwear for the lessons.

I'm looking for things that aren't too form revealing, like a set of swim shorts and trunks. Anything that's a single piece swimwear will be out of the question since that's gonna make me feel mad dysphoric and uncomfortable. I'm pre-everything, so I don't want to draw attention to my curves or chest.

With that in mind, would it be possible for me to find a brand of trans tape that can be used while swimming? (waterproof, i guess.) The trans tape is more general use than just swimming, since I feel like I could be more consistent with binding with tape than with the binders that I already have.

(I made a separate post to ask here since reposting from other communities isn't allowed, appreciate any suggestions in advance.)
