If she was an Apostolic, through and through, then it was probably deliberate. I don't know anything about her as a person, though, so how do we know this wasn't the norm? Was she always Apostolic? Was she raised that way? Was she a recent convert? I agree that based on that alone, and from the assumption that she had been used to the conservative, Apostolic lifestyle, her motives could be called into question. It was outside of what was normal behavior for her, presumably. Ergo, it was questionable.
That said, I wouldn't call being seen in a bathing suit or bikini "exposing" oneself. That's usually reserved for completely undressing in front of someone, with all the parts visible. I definitely don't equate wearing a bathing suit with exposing oneself in that sense.
