The clothes do look like they'd be awful in the water, even with elbows exposed! I wondered, too, whether these were actually swimsuits but couldn't find anything definitive regarding Victorian and Edwardian swimwear. In a Google search, I did come across some images, however, that seemed to show women frolicking in the surf in similarly restrictive garb.

Just think of getting out of the water with cold wet stockings and heavy wet wool clothing, Yuck!
