When the need to be poolside arrives in Winnipeg or on a cruise, finding the right swimwear becomes more than a matter of style—it becomes a matter of comfort, confidence, and function. For women over 45, especially those shopping for aquacise, lake days, or vacations down south, the tankini has become a go-to essential. At Swimwear Express, we specialize in helping women find tankinis that look beautiful and feel even better.

Why Tankinis Are the Smart Swimwear Choice for

Winnipeg Women

Tankinis offer the flexibility of a two-piece with the modesty and comfort of a one-piece. You get the convenience of easy wear, easier bathroom trips (yes, we said it), and a customizable fit without giving up on the coverage many women appreciate.

For women shopping in Winnipeg, especially those aged 45 and up, the tankini provides the perfect solution to typical swimwear struggles. Whether it’s support for a larger bust, a flattering fit for the tummy, or full coverage for active days, tankinis are the swimwear answer for real women.

  • Built-in underwire bras for larger cup sizes

  • Soft, breathable, quick-dry fabrics perfect for pool and lake

  • Rouching, layers, and longer lengths to minimize and camouflage the midsection

Designed for Mix and Match Freedom

With tankinis, you’re not stuck with just one look. You can mix and match tops and bottoms for a custom style and fit. Pair a floral print top with a black high-waisted bottom, or choose bold colors with ruched shorts for a modern vibe. We carry:

  • Boy shorts

  • High-waist bottoms

  • Swim skirts

  • Briefs and capris


Mixing and matching your swimwear lets you tailor your look to your body and your mood—something every woman deserves.

Top Tankini Brands That Women Love

We only carry brands that deliver comfort, style, and quality. Popular names include:

Chlorine-Resistant Tankini Brands for Aquacise

If you’re spending lots of time in a chlorinated pool—especially for aquacise—you’ll want fabrics that can handle it. That’s where polyester makes all the difference.

At Swimwear Express, we recommend:

  • Finz – Performance-driven, chlorine-resistant styles made for regular pool use

  • Gabar – Comfortable fits designed to last through aquacise sessions

  • Maxine – Classic polyester suits with durability and coverage women love

Polyester fabrics are built to resist chlorine, so your swimsuit keeps its shape and color longer. By contrast, Lycra and elastane blends (like Miraclesuit, Artesands, and Sea Level) are perfect for vacations, lake days, and light swim use—but they don’t hold up as well in excessive chlorine.

Perfect for Winnipeg Summers and Snowbird Escapes

Tankinis are ideal for all kinds of occasions:

  • Local aquacise classes – Polyester, chlorine-resistant options keep up with you

  • Cottage weekends – Comfortable enough for kayaking, walking the dock, or relaxing by the fire

  • Winter vacations – Easy to pack and flattering to wear poolside in Mexico or the Caribbean

Your tankini should travel with you—and we’ll help you find one that fits your destination and your personality.
