Last week, the wildly popular athleisure brand ADAY debuted two vibrant swimsuit styles, and the fitness world went crazy. The brand's latest choice signaled that summer is officially right around the corner, and it also confirmed what we've suspected for a while now: Swimsuits are now an athleisure staple.

We know what you're thinking: they're not that different from the body suits keeping Kendall, and Gigi, and you, and me looking so sleek and streamlined. And you're right! So for summer, sub out your favorite bodysuit with one that does double duty—in the water!
