Yes, mixed-gender swimming usually is an occasion of sin, but what if EVERYONE wore the very modest swimsuits as in the OP's link?  In that case, probably not.

But there's another consideration besides the occasion sin.  Even if someone has attained a significant degree of purity, it's still wrong IMO to take part in such a culture of immodesty.  Even if I were fully clothed and were entirely safe from occasions of sin, I still would not want to go to a beach or a pool party where everyone was running around immodestly.  There's just something incongruous about a Catholic being in such a place.

So, for instance, most saints held dancing to be an occasion of sin.  Yet, even if I did not actively participate, and there were no occasion of sin for me personally, I would not want to even be present at a dance (especially modern dances) because of the aversion we have to it given our Catholic sensitivities.

Of course, there could also be the possibility of scandal with your presence as well if it gives someone the impression that you condone that sort of environment.
Where does one draw the line then?  Isn't immodesty all around us?

Isn't the line here obvious?  I walk around a grocery store where there happen to be a few women wearing shorts or tight shirts, vs. I walk around a beach where nearly 100% of the people there are gravely immodest.  In addition, going to buy groceries is a necessary activity, and it would not cause scandal for people to know that you were there, even if some present happened to be immodest.

I wonder how Our Lady handled the immodesty in Egypt when daily she had to go to the well etc. ::)

If anyone is looking for modest swimwear this site has their Swimdresses at up to 70% off right now.  True, it is based out of Israel, but it is hard to compare with the quality of them.  I have used them for years.

This is where my wife has bought the bathing suits for our girls for years now https://hydrochic.com/
Very good quality, after use, if you wash them and air dry them or partially dry them in the dryer, they will last for years. My wife unfortunately does not listen to my advice, she cooks them in the dryer, nevertheless, they last for two to three girls as they grow up.
