Question

If I want to go swimming during the shiva nekiyim, is it permitted to do this wearing a coloured (nonwhite) bathing suit?

Answer

Swimming is permissible during your clean days. It would be preferable to find a swim suit with a white lining or to switch the lining at the crotch to white. However, if you do not have such a swimsuit, you can swim in what you do have.
