(I'm 5"10/210lbs so not a whale but pretty podgy)

Why not just go with a bathing suit? There are lots of cute and flattering ones, even ones with short legs, and they are more normal so they don't scream self consciousness.

Yeah, I've got a swim suit with legs, like a wrestling singlet and they're not nearly long enough to keep me feeling comfortable and tend to ride up

I'll pass thanks, pal

I'd still just try to find another one that is more comfortable to wear. Other than the shoulders and upper cleavage area I don't really see what the picture you posted in the OP covers that a bathing suit wouldn't. They're not all low cut.

Also, if you are mainly concerned about how you look while at the beach or otherwise out of the water, you can get one of those fashionable flimsy beach dresses or shawls to drape around you.

As for whether it's weird, meh, I don't care what people wear when swimming but what you posted it so atypical that it would immediately make me think that you are ashamed of yourself, like a guy who keeps his shirt on.

1. You'll look like a mudslime
2. Lose weight

Not blaming or shaming, but you need to be made aware that you have a BMI of 30.1, which means that you're medically obese. Your weight isn't pretty much fine, it's literally a heath issue. If you're not a smoker or a heavy drinker, and are otherwise disease-free, your weight is the largest factor of your expected mortality.

Do as I did and get involved in a support group for people wanting help managing their diet and exercise. It makes things so much easier to not be trying to go it alone.
