This leads me to believe that whatever is implemented with 1.18a related to the event is mostly behind the scenes and will come forth on Aug 11, at which point we are allowed to speak to NPCs and get swimsuits, but not before.
We get a "heat resistant swimsuit" prior to going out Bombard hunting.

2. Faire chaperones will ask you to take part in the Bombard hunt, and provide you with special heat-resistant swimsuits.

So basically we probably get to wear some basic swimsuits while doing the event and then earn some even better ones.

Can't wait to get my trunks!
