bathers

People in pools

Bathers are people who bathe—whether in a tub, a river, or the sea.

In Australian and British English, bathers also means a swimsuit: I forgot to pack my bathers.

The word appears frequently in art history, where scenes of bathers became a genre unto themselves: Cézanne's bathers, Renoir's bathers.
