The women’s skirts were still around in the 1950s, so was the so-called modesty panel. Thanks for sharing “live” events.

It was one piece – sorts and a sleeveless top. My mother wore something with a skirt. Then my father started wearing wool “trunks”. If I come across photos of them in their “bathing costumes” from that era I will send you a copy.
These days I wear a one piece “tankin”suit for the pool -much like some female triathletes wear -without sleeves – mainly because I hate bathing suits that craw up my rear. I rarely go to the beach – never been a fan of sunbathing – and get enough sun running around in shorts and a tank when I hit the road or the track.

Happy Summer!<3, Kel
