Looking for special swimsuit

I'm trying to find something between a bikini and a one-piece swimsuit,
but I don't know if such a thing exists.

Let's say it's something like a tankini, where your top (if you choose
to wear it) is snapped or clipped onto your pantie and sort of becomes
a one piece swimsuit which allows you, for instance, to dive off a
diving board without you having to hurry and put your top back over
your breasts while you're swimming out from underwater, as is usually
what happens with a bikini.

Anybody know of something like this?

Madelaine...
Those are definitely around, but don't have a special name to my
knowledge. I would search on bathing suit and "cutout" on web-search or
froogle or wherever. A workout bikini might also work for your purpose.

John Rethorst...
You didn't ask me . . . but I think workout bikinis look fine.

If you dive (headfirst), how will attaching the top to the bottom prevent
the top from falling down? That would seem to prevent the *bottom* from
falling down. If the top fits properly/snugly, it should stay put when you
dive. Maybe your suits are too big? Or maybe they are more the
"lingerie-for-being-admired-in" type of suit than a real "I-actually-swim"
suit. I think some of the makers of sport/competition suits also make
tankinis; I would look for those. (Remember, too, that a structured bra
type top will trap air when you dive in. The shelf bra type will probably
lessen the bubble effect.)
