FAQs
Can I wear these for running as well as swimming?
Yes, the Dri-FIT material and athletic cut make them suitable for both water-based activities and land-based workouts.
How long is the inseam?
These shorts feature a 5-inch inseam.
Are the pockets waterproof?
No, the pockets are mesh-lined to allow water to drain out quickly, so they are not designed to keep items dry.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
The material is durable, but rinsing after chlorine or salt water exposure is required to maintain color vibrancy over time.
What is the primary material?
The shorts are made from high-performance polyester.
Do these shorts have a functional fly?
No, they feature a stretch waistband design for easy on and off.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord becomes difficult to tighten
Check the internal channel for sand or debris and rinse with fresh water to clear the path.
Liner feels uncomfortable after prolonged use
Ensure the shorts are sized correctly and check for any sand trapped inside the liner fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Nike Swim shorts, rinse them thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after exposure to chlorine or salt water. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can compromise the integrity of the Dri-FIT technology and the elasticity of the fabric. Hang to air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Always check the drawcord tension before use to ensure a secure fit that matches your activity level.
