So for number one, you giving the fact that somebody “can” or is able to. Number 1-1 your saying someone could handle it.
Number 2 is saying that you can call it a swimsuit, but 2-2 is saying that you could. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense :)

Military training is physically demanding.
1. I can handle it. (this speaker is going into the military and is confident he can handle it)
1-1. I could handle it. (this speaker is speaking hypothetically - "if" he joined the military, he believes he could handle it.)

I thought about #2 for a long time and I can't pinpoint a difference between the two. No matter how I think about it, either sentence works as well as the other. I can't think of a situation where one works better. Sorry!

Nope..I can not thank you enough..

In my humble opinion, it can be safely said that "can" in that sentence sounds more confident than could.
