These quick-drying shorts offer a relaxed 30cm leg length and a secure, adjustable fit, making them an ideal choice for transitioning between the water and the locker room; however, users should note that they are intended as an over-garment for swimsuits rather than a direct replacement for high-performance racing swimwear.

FAQs
Can I swim in these shorts?

What material are the shorts made of?
The shorts are made from durable and quick-drying polyester.
Are these shorts machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the garment.
Do the shorts have a liner?

How long is the leg?
The shorts feature a 30cm leg length, providing a modest and relaxed fit.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or pulled inside the waistband
Gently massage the fabric to feel for the tip of the cord and guide it back toward the eyelet; avoid pulling aggressively to prevent snapping the internal elastic casing.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Rinse the zipper area thoroughly to remove any salt or chlorine crystals that may be lodged in the teeth, then allow it to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Zoggs Indie Swim Shorts, always rinse them thoroughly in cold, fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated or saltwater. This prevents the chemicals or salt from breaking down the synthetic fibers over time. When washing, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid harsh bleaches. Because of the quick-dry nature of the fabric, it is recommended to air dry them in the shade rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as excessive heat can warp the elastic waistband and zipper mechanism. To adjust the fit, simply pull the internal drawcord to your desired tension and knot it, ensuring the waistband sits comfortably at your hips.
