Product Information
Full details
The Speedo Dive Aquashort in Black (Size L) is designed for young male swimmers looking for durable and comfortable swimwear for training or leisure. Its key benefit is the EnduraFlex material, offering superior chlorine resistance and shape retention, while a secure internal drawcord ensures a snug fit. A potential caveat is its shorter leg length compared to standard aquashorts, which may not be preferred by all. This product is a boys' aquashort made from a performance nylon blend. Key features include enhanced chlorine resistance, excellent shape retention, and an adjustable fit for comfort and security during aquatic activities.

FAQs
What age group is this aquashort for?
This aquashort is designed for kids, specifically indicated as size L, which corresponds to approximately UK size 10 (7-8 years old).
What is EnduraFlex material?
EnduraFlex is a fabric blend used by Speedo that features nylon yarns with higher resistance to chlorine and better shape retention compared to standard swimwear materials.
How do I adjust the fit?
The aquashort has an internal drawcord that you can pull to adjust and secure the fit around the waist.
Is this suitable for competitive swimming?
Yes, the secure fit and durable material make it suitable for training and competitive swimming, particularly due to its resistance to chlorine and shape retention.
Can I machine wash this aquashort?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the aquashort with a mild detergent. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the fabric.
What is the difference between this and a standard aquashort?
The primary difference is the shorter leg length, which offers more freedom of movement compared to standard, longer-legged aquashorts.
How should I care for my aquashort to make it last longer?
Rinse in cold fresh water after use, hand wash with mild detergent, and dry naturally away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach and ironing.
Troubleshooting
Aquashort feels too loose
Tighten the internal drawcord to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the drawcord is tied firmly.
Aquashort fading or losing shape
Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after each use and washed according to care instructions. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Chafing or discomfort
Verify the size is correct. If the size is appropriate, ensure the drawcord is not overtightened, which can cause pressure points.
