FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming laps?
Yes, the 5-inch length and regular fit are designed to minimize drag and provide maximum mobility for active swimming.
Can these be worn as regular casual shorts?
While they are designed as swimwear, their clean, simple design and side pockets make them versatile enough to wear for casual activities near the water.
Does the internal mesh brief provide enough support?
Yes, the integrated mesh brief is standard for this model and is intended to provide secure support for all-day wear.
How should I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a regular fit with an elasticated waist. If you are between sizes, the internal drawstring allows for significant adjustment.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
The polyester plain weave is naturally resistant to heavy wrinkling, making these a great low-maintenance option for travel.
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is best to air dry these shorts to maintain the integrity of the elastic waistband and the quick-dry fabric technology.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring has retracted into the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the drawstring end through the exit hole by bunching the fabric and working the pin through the channel.
Shorts feel stiff after drying
Ensure you are thoroughly rinsing out salt or chlorine after every swim, as mineral build-up can cause stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas 5-inch swim shorts last as long as possible, always rinse them in cool, fresh water immediately after use in chlorine or salt water. This prevents fabric degradation and color fading. When washing, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the quick-dry properties of the polyester. Air drying is highly recommended; avoid wringing the shorts out aggressively, as this can damage the internal mesh or the elastic band. Always check the size guide for your specific measurements, as the regular fit is designed to sit comfortably at the waist.
