FAQs
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
The Nike Swim 5 Inch Basic Volley Short has a 5-inch inseam.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While they are designed for swimming and water activities, their style is more casual and recreational. For competitive swimming, specialized racing suits are typically recommended.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. The shorts feature an adjustable drawstring for a personalized fit.
Can I use these shorts in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to rinse them with cold, fresh water immediately after swimming to prolong the life of the fabric and its water-repellent properties.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are crafted from 100% polyester.
Do the pockets have zippers?
No, these shorts feature on-seam pockets with mesh pocket bags, not zippered pockets.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
Rinse thoroughly after use and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the finish. Hang drying can also help preserve it longer than tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel waterlogged after swimming.
Ensure the water-repellent finish is intact. Rinse thoroughly after use and allow adequate drying time. If the issue persists, the water-repellent treatment may have degraded over time.
Waistband feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Pockets are not draining effectively.
Check that the mesh pocket bags are not clogged with sand or debris. Rinse the pockets thoroughly to clear any obstructions.
Color fading after multiple washes.
Wash with like colors in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
