Without proper swimwear, humans would never have doggy-paddled across the English Channel without freezing or swan-dived into a vat of shaving cream without ruining their tuxedos. Sport appropriate water-wear with today's Groupon: for $30, you get $60 worth of swimsuits and sunwear at Swimwear Etc.. This Groupon is valid at locations in Langley, Nanaimo, Vancouver, and West Vancouver.

Swimwear Etc. outfits all ages and sizes in a vast variety of brand-name swim apparel and accessories. Men can don a pair of Ripzone Ocean Rider Trunks ($29), which equip owners with three pockets and fast-drying properties that erase evidence of tangoing with the neighbour's sprinkler. Meanwhile, ladies can mix and match a trove of splash-ready bikini combinations such as the polka-dotted Flip collection ($36-$42) or flatter a full figure with an adjustable, mesh-lined Christina Animal swim tank ($39.99). A sleeveless sundress ($29) facilitates transformations from afternoon wave-riding to evening revelry without magic. Additionally, the shop's copious collection of childrens' swimwear readies pint-sized paddlers for nautical pursuits. Stock up on sun-savvy accessories, including hats and beach-bags ($24–$36), or slap on some sunscreen ($16–$18) to deflect the sun's harmful UV rays and brash pick-up lines.
