I think you should just wear the sports bra underneath and to h*ll with anyone who looks twice at you. Do what you need to do to be comfortable and to get the support you need. Walk to the pool like you own the place.

I am only a 36C, but I have support needs too. My current suit is the one below and it has a lot of support, also the front of the top is pretty high, so no drag. I ride my bike to the pool and on my way there I just wear the suit under my cycle shirt, no bra needed.

That Quantum Splice is a great suit, but the catch with them is that the sizes top out at 40, which I believe equates to a 13/14.

So until I get down to that size, I'm using a Speedo Ultraback Moderate, which isn't as stylin' as the Quantum, but it gets the job done. The slightly lower cut legs also work well in a size 16. It has a built-in shelf bra and a reasonably high neckline to help keep things in place. I usually get them form Swim Outlet, but I don't see size 16 in stock right now. A google search might help you find one, though.

And go with the sports bra if that's what works. You're there to work out and that's all that really matters!
