Measure your waist and refer to the Zoggs sizing chart. The internal drawstring allows for minor adjustments for a personalized fit.
Is this swimwear suitable for competitive swimming?

Troubleshooting
Swim shorts feel loose after washing
Ensure the internal drawstring is tied securely. If the waistband has lost elasticity, it may be time to replace the shorts.
Fading color or loss of shape
Rinse thoroughly in cold water immediately after each use and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Follow recommended hand-washing procedures.
Discomfort due to fabric stiffness
