FAQs
What age range are these aquashorts designed for?
These Speedo Aquashorts are designed for junior boys, specifically in UK child's size 9-10.
Are these aquashorts environmentally friendly?
Yes, the `EnduraFlex` fabric is made from 100% pre-consumer waste (such as waste fabric from factories), making them an eco-conscious and sustainable choice for swimwear.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
These aquashorts feature an internal drawcord which allows for a customizable and secure fit around the waist. Always check the size guide against your child's current waist and hip measurements for the most accurate and comfortable fit.
Can these be machine washed?
While hand washing with mild detergent is recommended for longevity, if machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the shorts in a mesh laundry bag. Avoid hot water, bleach, and harsh spin cycles. Always air dry, preferably laid flat in the shade.
How do these shorts resist chlorine, and will the color fade?
They incorporate CREORA® HighClo™ technology, which provides significantly higher chlorine resistance compared to standard swimwear fabrics. This technology helps them maintain their shape and color over time, even with regular exposure to chlorinated pools, reducing fading.
What material are these aquashorts made from?
The aquashorts are made from durable `nylon` yarns, specifically the EnduraFlex fabric, which is derived from 100% pre-consumer waste.
What is the return policy regarding the hygiene label?
Returns for this product are only accepted if the hygiene label is still attached to the product. Please keep it intact and do not remove it unless you are certain you will keep the product.
Troubleshooting
Aquashorts feel loose or keep slipping down during swimming.
Adjust the internal drawcord more snugly around the waist. Ensure it is tied securely with a double knot if necessary. If the issue persists, double-check the size against your child's current measurements; an incorrect size could be the cause, even if it's the stated size 9-10.
Fabric appears to be fading or losing elasticity prematurely after several uses.
Ensure you are thoroughly rinsing the shorts in cool water immediately after every use to remove chlorine or salt. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners. Machine washing should only be on a gentle, cold cycle, and always air dry. High heat (from dryers or direct sun) can significantly degrade the `CREORA® HighClo™` fabric.
Pilling or snagging appears on the fabric surface.
Pilling often occurs from friction against rough surfaces. Encourage your child to avoid sitting or rubbing against abrasive pool decks, slides, or textured seating. Gentle hand washing can also help prevent further pilling compared to harsh machine cycles.
Discomfort or chafing during wear, especially around the legs or waist.
Ensure the internal drawcord is not pulled too tight, as this can cause discomfort or red marks. Check if the size is appropriate; too small a size can lead to chafing, while too large can cause bunching. The `EnduraFlex` fabric is designed for comfort, so if discomfort persists, review sizing or ensure seams are not twisted.

- Maintains original shape and fit over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Speedo Aquashorts is straightforward. Simply put them on as you would any swimwear. The internal drawcord allows you to adjust the waist for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure it's tied snugly but not too tight to avoid discomfort.
Compatibility
These aquashorts are designed for junior boys aged 9-10 (UK sizing) and are perfectly suited for:
- Swimming lessons
- Casual swimming at pools or beaches
- Water-based activities
- School sports days involving water
They are compatible with standard swimwear accessories like goggles, swimming caps, and rash vests.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your aquashorts and help maintain their shape and color:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your shorts thoroughly in cool, clean water. This helps remove chlorine, salt water, and body oils that can degrade the fabric over time.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can break down the `EnduraFlex` material and `CREORA® HighClo™` technology.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can stretch and damage the fabric fibers, affecting shape retention.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay flat or hang to dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Direct sunlight and high heat (e.g., from a dryer) can cause fading, material breakdown, and loss of elasticity.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on abrasive surfaces (like concrete pool edges), as this can cause pilling or snagging on the fabric.
- Hygiene Label: Remember that for returns, the hygiene label must remain attached and intact. Do not remove it unless you are certain you will keep the product.
