5 Trappadilla
[ Let me start off by saying I really loved these in every way. Style wise they were classic. Looked almost like a sneaker box in color with similar lettering down the side. The cut off Nike Swoosh was a cool feature. The color was vibrant but not too bright. Fit- wise these were perfect for a day at the beach. They came right above the knee. Very comfortable. I was able to go from swimming to beach volleyball with the same fit. The inner lining was sewn directly to the inside of the shorts. It made for a more comfortable feel than regular old school bathing suits with the annoying tight netting. This definitely felt more comfortable. It really enhanced my ability to swim and provided great give for jumping and lunging while playing volleyball. My team won and I give all the credit to these amazing shorts. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable stylish fit this summer.

5 MyBlackshoes
[ The shorts were very well made. They can be used for everyday wear and for swimming or playing almost any sport. The material felt made of very good quality. We had a chance to wear them to the lake and they were very comfortable while swimming. They dried fast while wearing them. The design looked very appealing. The only think I would change is the color and maybe an inch longer. Those are not deal breakers though as I enjoyed wearing them. They ran a little small but I still liked them very much.

5 DannyG
[ These shorts are great for the beach or lounging by the pool. I would not consider them performance apparel as it seems like they were designed for casual use. Some of the casual features include the side pockets and a more relaxed fit. The elastic waistband and drawstring do allow for a tight fit along the waist to make sure they stay on while swimming. The material is on the thinner side and dries quickly. The shorts were very comfortable even though the material feels scratchy initially by the end of the wear I had completely forgotten about them. There is no interior mesh lining so you may consider wearing a pair of compression shorts underneath if you prefer that snug fit. Overall they are a great pair of swim shorts but I would not recommend them for competitive swimming. They will be a go to pair in my beach/pool rotation this summer.

5 AnthonyC
[ These swimming shorts are great. I like the material and the color. The length is great as well. I do think they fit a little tighter than I would prefer. The material and fabric is good, but I did notice that sand sticks to the material. If there is anything I ’ d change I ’ d make them a more relaxed fit. The design of these are pretty cool with the large Nike swoosh.

5 Hydroguard
[ The Nike 7 ” shorts are a great mix of comfort and style. The lightweight nylon fabric feels breathable and smooth, making them perfect for warm weather, workouts, pool days, or hitting the steam room. They have a relaxed fit that gives enough room to move comfortably without feeling too baggy. Style- wise, the 7 ” length hits at a nice spot above the knee, giving them a modern athletic look that pairs easily with a long sleeve performance shirt, tee, or hoodie. The material also dries quickly, which makes them ideal for active days or hanging by the pool or a beach day. The big Nike check is aesthetically pleasing as well. Overall, these shorts are comfortable, stylish, and versatile an easy go- to option whether you ’ re staying active or just want a clean sporty look. I am a BIG fan of their swim wear!

[ I purchased these super backcast shorts in navy gingham for my teenage son. He has gotten so many compliments on them and he loves them. They are great quality and perfect to wear all summer especially if you are in and out of the pool- they dry super quick. These super backcast shorts are just a little bit shorter than the regular backcast shorts, and the fit is great. Would highly recommend!

5 SkysOutThighsOut
[ Got these shorts in a 6 inch inseam( 1/2 foot). I think the color's not posted here because I bought it at an outlet. They 're great for someone looking for a stylish swim trunk above the knee with all day wear. Two hand pockets, a back zipping pocket( v. necessary), and a side utility pocket hit all function points. Plus the drawstring is killer, never comes untied. Surprisingly quick to dry, mesh liner does take a bit longer. But i pull the pockets out and it's worth it for having the storage and not letting the hotdog roll off the grill, while still making my buns look good. Buy one if you like my grill joke. Buy two if you swim everyday. Buy three if you do the backstroke. Buy four if you just like to have too many of anything. If you 're buying five, I want commission.

5 Grey1776
[ These shorts are truly epic. The waist fit is perfect, with enough flex to feel like I could be a stunt man for Jackie Chan. The length is also great, short enough to let my thighs get some sun while still long enough to prevent a charge for indecent exposure. I actually own three pairs of these shorts in three different patterns to fit any occasion. The pattern says, `` hey, I take being on the water seriously, but I 'm still here to party. '' To be honest, I even played a round of golf in these bad boys. Best round I 've ever had.

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Swim Shorts

When searching for the best swim shorts, consider features such as quick-drying materials, a comfortable fit, and a secure waistband. Look for options with built-in liners for added support and pockets for convenience. Additionally, consider the length and style that best suits your activities, whether it's lounging by the pool or engaging in water sports.

High-quality swim shorts are often made from materials like polyester and nylon, which are known for their durability and quick-drying properties. Some may also incorporate spandex for added stretch and comfort. It's important to choose fabrics that are resistant to chlorine and saltwater to ensure longevity.

Choosing the right length for swim shorts depends on personal preference and intended use. Shorter styles, typically around 5 to 7 inches, offer more freedom of movement and are great for active water sports. Longer options provide more coverage and can be more comfortable for lounging or casual wear.

Yes, there are swim shorts designed for various activities. For instance, swim trunks with a tighter fit and shorter length are ideal for competitive swimming, while looser styles may be better suited for casual beach outings. Additionally, some swim shorts are tailored for specific sports like surfing or paddleboarding, featuring added functionality.

The fit of swim shorts is crucial for comfort and performance. Look for a snug yet comfortable fit around the waist, ensuring they stay in place while swimming or engaging in activities. Additionally, consider styles with adjustable waistbands or drawstrings for a customizable fit, and ensure there's enough room in the legs for movement.
