One of the issues in filming this movie had to be getting the suit styles right for when each scene was filmed.

Speedo made both a wider side "tank suit" and a brief cut in the mid '60s. Eventually the wide side went away entirely and all Speedos were the brief model. Of course this is before Lycra came on the scene, so all Speedos were 100% nylon.
