Abstract
A bathing suit includes a pocket, a waterproof pouch disposed in the pocket and a tether having a first end attached to the suit and a second end attached to the waterproof pouch. The tether is flexible and of sufficient length such that the waterproof pouch can be removed from the pocket for inserting therein items for safekeeping. The pouch is made of pliable waterproof material and has a sealable opening such that, when sealed, liquids may not enter. Preferred embodiment, the pocket is constructed such that the tether can be anchored to the suite's waistband. Preferably, also, the pocket is constructed such that the tether is concealed entirely within the pocket during storage of the pouch. With use of a rear pocket, the tether is sufficiently long such that the pouch can be removed from the rear pocket and held to the front of a wearer for inserting therein items for safekeeping.
