FAQs

Are these swim shorts suitable for competitive swimming?

While comfortable for general swimming, these shorts are designed more for leisure and casual wear rather than high-performance competitive swimming which often requires specialized, form-fitting suits.

What does 'minimum 50% recycled polyester' mean?

It means at least half of the polyester material used in these shorts is made from recycled sources, like plastic bottles, which helps reduce waste and conserve resources compared to using virgin polyester.

Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?

Yes, their comfortable fit and quick-drying properties make them suitable for various casual activities, beach lounging, or as casual shorts on warm days.

How do I know if a size S is right for me?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for Polo Ralph Lauren apparel. Generally, size S is designed for adult wearers with smaller body measurements. Check waist and hip dimensions if available.

What is the main difference between these and the 'Traveler Shell Swimming Trunks' from the same brand?

The 'Traveler Shell' models often feature a slightly different fit, specific material compositions (like Nylon in some variants), and potentially distinct design elements or branding, though both are designed for swimming.

Is the pink color see-through when wet?

The fabric blend is designed for swimwear, which typically means it should not become see-through when wet. However, the exact opacity can vary slightly with dye lots and fabric tension.

Troubleshooting

Swim shorts feel tight after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and drying method. Avoid excessive heat during drying, as it can affect the fabric's elasticity. Air drying is often best.

Color fades significantly after a few uses

Wash the swim shorts in cold water and inside out. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as UV rays can degrade colors over time. Use color-safe detergents.

Material feels stiff or less flexible

This can sometimes occur with new polyester blends. Repeated use and proper washing (avoiding fabric softeners which can degrade synthetics) should help restore flexibility. Ensure they are not over-dried.
