What do teachers wear for swim trips?

Hello,

I'm a teacher going on a swimming trip with my special needs class this week and I'm nervous and confused on what to wear.

  1. I don't have a swim suit yet because I've never been swimming. ( my school is aware of this but with the needs of the kids I have to go in with them if they choose to)

  2. I have really saggy ladies so I'd imagine I'd need extra support under my swim suit but I've seen it's a taboo thing and I don't feel comfortable letting them free around strangers and coworkers.

  3. I have to shower around my coworkers and kids because they need support with that so it raises worries about what to buy and what or wear underneath. I also have to be able to change fast

  4. I'm the only black teacher which comes with a can of worms and I don't know how to deal with my hair for the pool and shower.

my current solution is buying a body swim suit that has a zip and wear a sports bra underneath. I don't know if I should buy swim panties as well to have under when it comes time to shower. please feel free to offer any constructive advice (don't be mean please)
