== Anime & Manga ==
* All too many female characters in [[Hentai]] anime and manga wear school swimsuits, sometimes even when they are no longer in high school.
* As a general rule, whenever there's a [[Pool Episode|Pool]] or [[Beach Episode]], you can count on the youngest (or at least [[Token Mini -Moe|youngest-looking]]) girl in the ensemble to wear one.
* Konata from ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]'' wears her school swimsuit on a beach, because of [[Lolicon|"people with special interests"]]. And then Kagami was astonished by the fact that what Konata wore was from... [[Older Than They Look|the sixth grade!]]
* Excel from the ''[[Excel Saga (Manga)|Excel Saga]]'' manga once wears a school swimsuit to a beach, and gets a ''lot'' of attention. She's long since out of high school, but never bought another swimsuit because [[Perpetual Poverty|she didn't want to waste any money]]. She also wears one in the anime, specifically for [[Fan Service]] purposes.
Line 30:
* ''[[Full Metal Panic Fumoffu]]''. When Tessa visits Japan, she gets convinced by [[Handsome Lech|Kurz]] that she should wear a [[School Swimsuit]] that makes her stand out from Jindai High's one. Then Kaname makes a mention that her swimsuit is something that "maniacs would find attractive."
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]''
** School swimsuits tend to only come up when swimming at school (natch), with mostly bikinis being worn to the beach at Chiyo's summer home and to Okinawa (the exceptions being Osaka and, after the first year, Chiyo, though those aren't school swimsuits, either). However, in the sports fest one year, Kagura can be seen running around in the background looking for a school swimsuit, and in the manga, when Tomo suggests making a girly uniform, Kimura already has a design for it, involving a school swimsuit, a [[Sailor Fuku|school uniform]] top, a pair of [[Animal -Eared Headband|bunny ears]], and pantyhose.
** In the manga, Yukari wears a bikini to the school pool while the swimming club is meeting there. She considers that it might be too much for the young boys to handle, but if she wore a school swimsuit, "they might like that better."

* Nagi (plus a younger Maria on a flashback) from ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' wears this on the manga, the first anime AND the OVA before the second anime. And the circumstances are different on each case. In the OVA's case, it made her the only one fulfilling [[Norio Wakamoto|the narrator]]'s [[Blatant Lies|promise]] of "Prepare to die of [[Moe]]"!
* ''[[Strike Witches (Anime)|Strike Witches]]'': Yoshika and Mio wear this under their uniforms (well, the shirts...), probably since they come from Japan... hu, [[Alternate History|Fuso]].
* In the ''[[Valkyria Chronicles (Video Game)|Valkyria Chronicles]]'' anime, the [[Beach Episode|Beach OVA]] has Isara wearing a school swimsuit, probably because [[Token Mini -Moe|Aisha]] doesn't appear and Isara is [[Moe Moe|the youngest and cutest girl]] (and flat). [[Fridge Logic|On a series that happens in Europe, in]] [[Alternate Universe|a pseudo-World War II]]. [[BellisariosBellisario's Maxim|Let's not think too hard about it]].
* ''[[Saki (Manga)|Saki]]'': Yuuki and Saki wear these in the second ending and on the mandatory [[Beach Episode]] (Though Saki's might be just a similar-looking one-piece). They also happen to be the only [[Pettanko|flat-chested girls]] in the [[Five -Man Band|Five Girl Band]]. There's also official art of the entire [[Five -Man Band|Five Girl Band]] wearing a school swimsuit.
* While she's (sadly) never seen wearing it, Nagisa from ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]'' says she wouldn't mind wearing one of these if Tomoya wanted.
* In ''[[Sora no Otoshimono (Manga)|Sora no Otoshimono]]'', the main character's class has a ''[[School Swimsuit]]-[[Meido]]'' [[Fan Service With a Smile|cafe]]. '''And it works'''.
Line 46:
* The Ashford Academy swimsuit in ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' is essentially this, but with the school's emblem over the left breast rather than the white nametag. It's most commonly seen on Shirley, an honest-to-goodness member of the swim team, but one episode shows C.C. kicking back into school pool after hours.
* Natsumi from ''[[Keroro Gunsou (Manga)|Keroro Gunsou]]'' is seen in her school swimsuit in an early episode. Her swimsuit even gets incorporated into her [[Powered Armor|"Powered 723" battle-suit]], much to her chagrin.
* Some [[Pool Scene|Pool Scenes]] in ''[[Ranma One Half½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]'' have the Fûrinkan girls wearing school swimsuits... including [[Gender Bender|Female!Ranma]], who have little choice since s/he the cannot stay male in the cold water of the pool, and thus has to done a girl swimsuit. The various [[Beach Episode|Beach Episodes]] have more diverse suits.
* In ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', Tomoeda Elementary has uniforms for '''everything''': bathing suits, warm-weather uniform, cold-weather uniform, ski outfit, winter coat, gym clothes...
* ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]: [[The Anime of the Game|The Inspectors]]'' has ending scene resemble [[Beach Episode]] with each girl wearing bikinis, with exception of Latooni Subota who wear a school swimsuit.
