If someone makes a snide remark to me, even if they think they're being funny, I usually come right back at them with a similar remark. They usually back right off if they see you're not upset and you'll go right back at them. I guess it's something that should have been done right from the start but I don't think it's too late now to just stand right back up to her. It's really a shame some people have to put other people down to feel good about themselves but that's what bullies are all about.

Don't quit over some jerk!Confront her! Somewhat on the same line,-I had a superviser years ago that always gave me a hard time,tried so hard to be extra nice to her to no avail.Finally one day I cornered her alone and asked her what was her prob?Why was she so rude to me,she just looked at me and said"I just don't like you".True story,we never became any type of friends after that,but she stopped being mean,I think because I finally called her out on it,so I say don't stop the class just because of that one person,you need to confront her!

This is how I respond to people who do that to me, each and every time:
"That's nice." It's really not a response, or even an answer. And it can be interpreted as "man, you are being a #$*&" or "oh, what a lovely comment." It knocks them off their game, and they spend time wondering what you meant by that. They can't say it was nasty, because it wasn't. Confuse your enemy, and you've won. Now, I'm no shrinking violet so I don't think anyone would dare say anything like that to me more than once. But it stinks that she feels she can say something like that during a fairly vulnerable situation (bathing suits -- eek!). There is the small possibility she is socially awkward, either through some syndrome or just not well-mannered, and is not trying to be rude or mean. But still ....
