Le terme costume de bain est très répandu dans l’usage canadien et il est aussi utilisé dans d’autres parties de la francophonie, dont la Suisse. Toutefois, les ouvrages de France l’estiment vieilli et le considèrent comme un régionalisme.
Dans la langue écrite standard, il vaut mieux employer maillot de bain ou maillot.
