Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Swim shorts, proper care is essential. Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cool water immediately after use in chlorinated or saltwater to remove chemical residue or salt crystals. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using bleach or heavy detergents. For drying, hang the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area rather than using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and mesh lining. These shorts are available in various adult sizes ranging from XS to XXL, allowing for a precise fit based on your body measurements.
