FAQs
What does `EnduraFlex` fabric mean?
`EnduraFlex` is Speedo's fabric technology that incorporates nylon yarns made from 100% pre-consumer waste, such as recycled fabric scraps from factories. This makes the aquashorts a more sustainable choice while offering durability and comfort.
How does `CREORA® HighClo™` benefit the aquashorts?
`CREORA® HighClo™` is a technology that provides significantly higher chlorine resistance compared to standard swimwear fabrics. This means the aquashorts will maintain their shape and integrity for longer, even with frequent exposure to chlorinated pool water, fitting like new for an extended period.
Can these aquashorts be used for competitive swimming?
While durable and comfortable, these aquashorts are designed for general swimming, lessons, and recreational use. For competitive racing, Speedo offers specialized swimwear with features optimized for hydrodynamics and performance in races.
What is the recommended cleaning method?
It is highly recommended to hand wash your aquashorts in cool, fresh water with a mild detergent immediately after each use. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, ironing, or using bleach, as these can damage the fabric and elasticity.
Why is the hygiene label important for returns?
For health and safety reasons, Speedo has a strict return policy for swimwear. Returns will only be accepted if the original hygiene label is still attached to the product. This ensures the product meets health standards if it needs to be processed for return or exchange.
Are there other sizes or colors available for this product?
This specific guide focuses on the Blue, Size 5-6 aquashorts. However, Speedo generally offers aquashorts in various sizes and color options. Please check the product listing or Speedo's official website for other available variants that might suit your needs.
Troubleshooting
Aquashorts feel loose or stretched after a few wears.
While these shorts feature shape retention, always ensure the internal drawcord is tightened appropriately. Also, improper care like hot water washing or tumble drying can affect elasticity. Review care instructions to ensure longevity. If the issue persists with correct care, re-check sizing against your junior's measurements.
Color appears to be fading or material feels rough.
Despite `CREORA® HighClo™` providing high chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals without proper rinsing can still cause wear. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after swimming. Avoid using strong detergents or bleach, and dry in the shade to protect the fabric from UV damage.
Plastisol graphic is peeling or cracking.
The Plastisol graphic is designed for durability. Peeling or cracking can occur from excessive stretching, high heat exposure (e.g., tumble drying, direct hot sun), or harsh chemical contact. Ensure care instructions are followed, especially regarding drying and avoiding harsh chemicals. Gently hand wash and dry in shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before First Use
Upon receiving your Speedo Aquashorts, inspect them for any manufacturing defects. Ensure the hygiene label is intact, especially if you anticipate a need for return. While there's no complex 'setup', familiarizing your junior with the internal drawcord for adjustment is a good first step.
Compatibility
These aquashorts are designed for swimming in various environments:
- Swimming Pools: Excellent choice due to `CREORA® HighClo™` for chlorine resistance.
- Beaches/Open Water: Suitable for ocean swimming, though rinsing immediately after saltwater exposure is crucial.
- Lessons/Training: Durable enough for regular use in swimming lessons and training sessions.
Care Instructions
Proper care will significantly extend the life of your aquashorts. Follow these guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: After every use, rinse thoroughly in cool, fresh water. This removes chlorine, salt, and sunscreen residues.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- No Machine Washing: Machine washing, especially with hot water, can damage the fabric and elastic properties.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can stretch and damage the fibers.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay flat to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct sunlight and high heat (like radiators or tumble dryers) can degrade the fabric and elastic.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against abrasive surfaces, as this can cause pilling or snagging.
- Hygiene Label: Keep the hygiene label attached if there's any chance of returning the product, as specified by the return policy.
