Bay Smith is a main character. Once a guy, she was turned into a girl several years ago. She keeps this fact a secret, and only a handful of people know.
She's now a struggling actress whose roommate is actually her daughter from an alternate future timeline.
Considering how much a swimsuit will fade due to chlorine exposure, we can assume that this is NOT the blue and yellow suit we’ve seen her in before, but one of the same style/design, and that Bay has purchased duplicates whenever the old one wears out.
Or, Bay stopped using it after this, threw it in a closet, and it stayed there until she needed one to go to the gym. Dealer’s choice.
Judging by that, it’s quite possible this IS the same suit, and Bay has had it stored for 5 years. Apparently, Bay’s gotten a bit chestier between “now” and “then”.
Ranma does indeed cannonically have such a swimsuit, though “Boy” is emblazoned on the chest. The actual colours of said suit is unknown, as the manga is black and white, and the episode in which the swimsuit appeared was replaced by a “ski trip” episode with a similar situation. In the manga, the sides are dark and the middle is light with “Boy” across the chest.
The “boy” suit does appear in later episodes of the anime, and is blue and yellow, but the colours are reversed from the manga version, with the sides yellow and the middle blue.
Bay: That was for the Fire Hose you buncha J.O.s!
We ARE ‘almost’ always nice. If you do manage to piss us off it’s because you did something that was REALLY bad.
Isn’t that the swimsuit Bay always wears? Has she just been using the same one for all these years?
I’m guessing that she liked this one so much that she just made this color scheme part of her style.

It could be like a super hero’s costume, self cleaning and repairing between uses. (This IS a comic story and Bay IS a comic heroine.)
Well … Batman actually bought several thousands of the costumes just because with high volume noone asked any questions.
She hits pretty good for a girl.
They did had it coming to them, the bra-stealin’ pervs.
First appearance of the swimsuit, BTW, is way back in:

Possibly she got chestier from being pregnant between “now” and “then.”
My thoughts as well.
I’ve seen Ranma from Ranma 1/2 in a similar swimsuit. The picture I saw had “boy” written down the side though.

I hope Bay takes their pizza too.
