Religious Jews (not only Chassidim) do not go "mixed swimming" (adult men and women together). We have either separate beaches for men and women, or different hours or days at the pool.
The men wear regular bathing suits, and the women wear modest bathing suits (women's styles vary among the different groups).
As for color, it is not as much a question of modesty as of custom of the group, and the desire to remain distinctive from the nations. (There are many different groups of Chassidim, some have their own distinctive style of dressing.)
