bather

One getting wet

A bather is someone who bathes—either washing themselves or swimming.

The word appears most often in contexts involving beaches or pools: Bathers crowded the shoreline.

In British English, bathers can also mean a bathing suit, especially in Australian usage: Don't forget to pack your bathers.
