Triathlon training (swimming) with breast implants? (Photo)

Graceful260883
I am 1.5 years post op from getting 375cc silicone implants placed under the muscle. I am very active and have no issues aside from disliking the feeling of chest dominant exercises. I am now training for a triathlon, and am a bit concerned with the swimming portion since it does involve the pec muscles. My main concern is keeping my implants looking good while training hard. Most swimsuits are not supportive. Should I be swimming in a sports bra? Does support matter as much in a pool? Any tips?
