Is wearing swimming suits a sin?

Going to the beach, changing into bathing suits and bathing in the sun or going swimming with others cause great temptations and could be a stumbling block for others. Therefore it is a sin. St. Paul teaches us, "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Tim 2:22).
