When it comes time to hit the beach this summer, you’re looking for a comfortable and cute suit that works with you, not against you. Whether you’re planning on spending an afternoon playing beach volleyball with friends or chasing around your kiddos in the sand, active swimwear is the answer.

Don’t get us wrong: we love a good thong bikini, but when it comes to an afternoon of activity at the beach or pool, you want a suit that’s going to stay put while you enjoy the great outdoors.

Below, find a few of our favorite active swimwear brands to shop this summer, with an SI Swimsuit-approved pick from each.
