Once you are stripped down to your swim brief/ bikini do something, swim a few lengths, play basketball, read you book or device. Sitting there scanning the "crowds" to see who is watching you will catch their eyes and make them look at you. Appearing nervous will draw attention to you. Appearing confident yet boring will give you time to settle in and get used to your condition. Then after a while you'll forget your self consciousness and should someone stop by to speak to you you'll chat normally. Maybe they'll say what a lovely warm day it is and how you seem suitably dressed for it, you'll smile and say it's my first time wearing these then they'll say they wished they were as brave as you.
