It's not weird for girls to wear swim trunks; fashion norms vary widely, and many girls and women choose swim trunks for comfort and practicality. Swim trunks can provide more coverage and freedom of movement compared to traditional swimsuits. Ultimately, personal style and comfort should dictate what someone chooses to wear at the beach or pool.
For some weird reason, it is more socially acceptable. Bras and panties are seen as "erotic" while bikinis are seen as well, swim wear (if you can call it that) even though it basically covers nothing. Girls can wear sports bras in public, but only because its athletic, not "sexy". It's kind of how guys can take their tops totally off in public, but showing your boxers is unacceptable.

YOU CAN if you choose however I would ask permission before I wore someone elses swimsuit. Your not built for a bikini but wear what you like

There is no legal bar preventing it.
It's okay to wear nothing but a bikini in public in New York City. It is legal for women to go topless in public in NYC. Some people have said that there is nothing wrong with the female nipple.
In the same way she would wear any other item of clothing.
The Duggar girls wear swimsuits from wholesomewear.com. It is like a wet suit with a loose fitting jumper over it and covers from the neck to the knee. The boys also wear shirts with their swim trunks to be more modest.
