What should you look for when shopping for sustainable swimwear? 

The reason behind the invention of sustainable swimwear is because most swimsuits contain a fiber that is non biodegradable. If you are unfamiliar, these fibers are petrochemical-based and do not break down like natural fibers. You want to be cautious of brands that use micro plastics such as these, since this is a synthetic fiber and will cause damage to the environment. Most eco-friendly swimwear brands are using post-consumer waste like plastic bottles and fishing nets to create a new version of high performance fabrics that work just as well if, not better, than any other bathing suit you might come across.
