Are swim shorts for swimming?

Simply put, yes and no. Mainly swim shorts are made for leisure and not solely for swimming. They are typically made of quick-drying materials like polyester or nylon that are comfortable to wear in the water and resist damage from chlorine or saltwater, whilst being comfortable to keep on once you have finished hunting sharks or training for the Olympics.

Most Swim shorts are also designed to be lightweight and flexible, allowing for a full range of motion while swimming. Most swim trunks may have additional features such as built-in mesh liners for added support, pockets for carrying small items or even super waterproof pockets to keep your valuables safe and dry should you want to take a dip and not leave possessions at risk.

Slick designs have seen a big movement in the Beach to Bar vibe, giving their wearers an awesome style when sipping sun downers.

Our swim shorts have 10% spandex to help give that extra bit of comfort and stretch so moving, and sitting on those wicker barstools is chafe-free.

Overall, swim shorts are a practical and comfortable option for anyone looking to swim, adventure or pose. Check out our awesome, award winning Swim Shorts - with Matchy Matchy options for the kids, and the aultimate Awwww Factor
