I got my last swimming costume from the internet.
Having scoured three very hot sportswear shops with very badly organised sections, I decided I felt like too much of a freak and would rather take care of my needs anonymously.

No really. I posted a picture in Products I Wholeheartedly Endorse

So, the ill-fitting items are safely back in the store, although I nearly had to get out the EMT shears to release myself from the "compression sports bra" that turned out to be two sizes smaller than what the tag said.

While I was in the mongo-plex returning stuff, I decided to check out a couple of other stores ... Dicks Sporting Goods also does not sell workout wear for people who actually need it, although I did get a very nice firestriker, backpacking chair, a spork, and some drybags.

I had to approach two Customer Associates in the BestBuy looking for an mp3 player whose name does not start with a lower case i.

They had two, they cost nearly as much as the iEquivalent, with less data storage, and so I walked out without getting anything. However, based on this experience, I may be getting closer to buying one of those iThings.

Do pools in the UK have shops attached with swimming costumes for normal people? I've found them to be much better than any other kind of shop that sells swimming costumes.

I can't speak with any authority, having only been to one pool as an adult, but my personal experience is NO.
And the chances are, if they did, they would again only cater for the standard sizes, having limited space and looking for the maximum sales per retail area.
