Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Swim shorts maintain their shape and fabric integrity, always rinse them thoroughly in cold, fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated pools or saltwater. Avoid wringing the fabric out forcefully, as this can damage the elasticity. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and air dry in the shade to prevent fading and material degradation. Do not iron or dry clean. Because the fit is adjustable via the drawstring, you can pair these easily with various swim tops or casual summer tees for a versatile vacation outfit.
