FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for machine washing?
While hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the fabric, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water.
Do these shorts have a liner?
Yes, they feature a built-in mesh brief for comfort and support.
Is the waistband elastic?
Yes, the shorts feature a stretch waistband paired with an internal drawstring.
What does the 4-inch length refer to?
The 4-inch measurement refers to the inseam, which is the length from the crotch seam to the bottom hem of the leg.
Can these be worn as regular casual shorts?
Yes, their design is versatile enough for casual wear, though they are primarily optimized for swimming.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels loose after water play
Ensure the drawstring is tied in a double knot before entering the water, as the fabric can loosen slightly when saturated.
Sand trapped in mesh pockets
Turn the pockets inside out after rinsing and gently shake; the mesh material allows sand to pass through easily once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Swim shorts last through the season, follow these care steps:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the shorts in fresh, cool water immediately after use in chlorinated or salt water to remove chemicals that break down fibers.
- Hand Wash: Use mild detergent and cold water for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners.
- Drip Dry: Air dry the shorts in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the fabric color over time.
- Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew growth.
