If anyone deserves a beach day, it's Simone Biles and her Final Five teammates.
The US gymnasts traded their leotards for bikinis and enjoyed a day out at Rio's Barra da Tijuca beach Saturday.
Biles, Aly Raisman and Madison Kocian — part of the Final Five team that took nine medals in Rio — frolicked on the sand and took a dip in the ocean.

| Madison Kocian, Simone Biles and Aly Raisman took some time off after their Olympic success to frolick on the sand. Biles will be flag bearer for Team USA at the closing ceremony Sunday |
Biles, 19 — who will be flag bearer for Team USA at the closing ceremony — captured all the action on Snapchat and Instagram.
'Hey! Beach! Finally,' Raisman, 22, said in a snapchat video posted by Biles., the Final Five have won the most medals by any women's team since the Soviet Union took 10 at the 1972 Olympics in Munich.
Biles is only the second US gymnast ever to serve as flag bearer — and the first woman to do so. Alfred Jochim carried the flag into the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
The Final Five won the all-around gold medal in the team exercises. Individually, Biles won gold in the vault, floor exercise and individual all-around, and a bronze in the beam event. Raisman won silver in the floor exercise and women's individual all-around. Kocian, 19, took silver on the uneven bars while Laurie Hernandez, 16, brought home silver on the beam.
