Problems solved by technology

Also well known in the art are the various disadvantages associated with conventional swimming garments.

For instance, when considering a women's conventional one-piece swimming garment, it is disadvantageous (ex. time-consuming, tedious and cumbersome) in that a user will typically have to remove the entire one-piece swimming garment if she wants or needs to go to the bathroom, for example.

Another disadvantage associated with this type of conventional one-piece swimming garment is that after swimming in it, for example, and if water is still impregnated in the garment, one cannot simply put on a pair of pants or shorts thereover, because the water embedded in the lower portion of the garment will soak the pair of pants or shorts that have been put on.

These types of disadvantages are also associated with conventional one-piece swimming suits used for little girls, in that, if a parent needs to change a diaper worn by a given child or needs to access to a lower body portion of the child in order to assist in any sort of related ways (for example, going to the bathroom, etc.), then typically the entire one-piece swimming garment needs to be removed from the child, which one again, is time-consuming, tedious and cumbersome, for a variety of different reasons.
