'one's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rear end with swimming costume' is the wordplay.
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'swimming' indicates an anagram (letters swim around into a new order).
The final letter of 'rear' is 'r'.
'costume' anagrammed gives 'custome'.
'r' after 'custome' is 'CUSTOMER'.

'always right to cover' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
