How to Model Swimsuits for a Beauty Pageant



The swimsuit competition can be the most intimidating portion of a
beauty
pageant competition. Plenty of poise and a quick pace can make it easier for the contestant to model her swimsuit in a beauty pageant.









Step
1



Prepare your body prior to the pageant. This competition is sometimes called "physical fitness in swimsuit," so the judges are looking to see how physically fit you are. Stay trim and toned with a
healthy
diet


and frequent exercise. Spend extra time toning your legs and buttocks, as these tend to be problem areas for many women. Your thighs should be super tight when walking the runway to avoid unattractive jiggling. Knowing that your body is in its best possible shape boosts your confidence in the pageant.




Step
2



Secure your swimsuit properly. Use tape or spray adhesive on the bottom of your suit to prevent it from riding up when you walk. If you are a newcomer to the pageant scene, enlist a veteran contestant to assist you with this beauty pageant rite of passage.




Step
3



Choose a high-heeled shoe. This lengthens the leg and gives a leaner silhouette on the stage. Choose a clear pump or nude shoe to avoid distracting footwear.




Step
4



Move with energy, and at a brisk pace. The modeling of a swimsuit should be one of the peppiest most upbeat moments of a pageant. Take advantage of this tempo to strut your stuff and show your personality on stage.




Step
5



Make eye contact with the judges and the audience. This helps show your confidence and helps you connect with the judges. Scan the audience with your eyes while smiling brightly. The swimsuit competition is not only about your body; your face and personality are on display as well.




Step
6



Strike poses that are flattering. A bent knee and an angled pose when you stop and pause is flattering to the figure and shows a certain level of confidence.







Tips & Warnings









Avoid standing with your back to the audience and judges during the swimsuit competition. Make broad sweeping turns and don't pause with your rear end toward the judges. This prevents them from scrutinizing your backside too closely.
