In PE and swimming lessons, pupils bring their swimwear, a towel and goggles. In shops there is a swimwear section. Safety: bright-coloured swimwear is easier for lifeguards to see; a rash vest protects from the sun. Words in different countries: «swimsuit», «swimming costume», «cozzie» or «togs» (Australia, NZ, Ireland), «bathers» (parts of Australia).
