My understanding is that pool-suits/heavy-duty swimming suits like Speedo are specialty items, and always cost. (Presumably they're designed to withstand the chlorine.) I haven't bought one in a long time, but my memory is that they routinely cracked $60, and never went on sale.
I can report, however, that Land's End does have really good two-pieces "tankinis" (stupid word) where the tank part of the top does not get in the way of movement. I bought one at the outlet store in Madison, WI a couple of years ago, and found that miracle of swimsuits, a built-in underwire for less than $50!
(The D-cup at Land's End did match my D-cup, although generally Land's End sticks to the old-skool concept of measurement, so I usually end up a size smaller there than anywhere else. In their turtlenecks, I'm an XS! Which I am nowhere else on the planet.)
