| Lands End was my first guess, but apparently they are all "Mom Suits." Any suggestions? |

| When my DD was 12 she found stuff at REI and Sports Basement. She wanted a one-piece Speedo. |

She's right. They are mom suits.
Athleta and Title 9 if she's ready for womens suits. REI is a great idea if she's looking for laps. |

Target has SUPER cute ones & in all styles (bikinis, Rankin is, one piece, rash guard, etc).
My daughter likes to be stylish & trendy and we've been getting her suits here for the past 3 summers. Here are just a few that are very stylish, cute & age appropriate. https://www.target.com/c/bikini-sets-swimsuits-girls-clothing/-/N-4xnw5 |

Ssorry, I forgot to mention that my daughter is also 12 & LOVES the ones with the flounce on top! It's a bikini, but gives a little more coverage & doesn't show cleavage (she's already developing). Btw, don't mind the really young looking model half way down the page, these really are perfect for 10/12 year olds & they look even cuter on! * these are just the bikinis, they have even more of a selection of one piece, tankinis & rash guard's.

I'm another vote for the great Target swimsuits!!
- My DD happens to love those one-shouldered suits (why, I have no idea - they leave a strange tan line if you ask me, but she adores them so I relent, lol). - I have another DD who will only wear tankinis. She's 10 & a little bit of a Tomcat. She's definitely not a Tomboy, but she's sporty AND girly (ie; Tomcat). So she isn't exactly ready to go full on bikini yet, but doesn't want to wear a one-piece like the younger girls do anymore. They also have a ton of rash-guards & cover-ups, so she uses the rash guards to switch things up. Go in and try some on, your daughter will quickmy find out which styles work for her (bonus - I love that they have the huge dressing rooms & are open until 11pm... nothing worse than trying on swimsuits with a cranky tween in a super enclosed environment!) |

| How can anyone answer this. 12yo's range in size from broomsticks to full figured curvy women. The 12yo next door is 130 5'6" and D's |

| Definitely Athleta. They have xxs in the women's section, and their girls line has relatively mature pieces |

I also have to agree with Target, it's our go to.
They have a varying size range from slim/petite to plus size in teen swim, they also have a very big selection of styles and their suits aren't going to break the bank, so you can get 5 or 6 for less than $100 and they'll last a few seasons. They may be affordable, but they aren't cheaply made. |

Amen to that! Target has the biggest dressing rooms (thank God!). |

my daughter is 10, and I found that a women's suit (size 6, i think. Or 4.) fit her better than girls' size 16. She is tall for her age, and slender, and girls suits just looked wide in the belly (she wanted a one-piece. So if the fit is weird in the girls sizes, consider trying a women's size.
