FAQs

What is the main material of the Skander swim shorts?

The Skander swim shorts are made from 100% Polyester, with a focus on using recycled polyester.

How should I wash these swim shorts?

Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry.

Are these swim shorts suitable for very young children?

This specific variant is sized for approximately 9-10 years old. Regatta offers other sizes in the Skander range for younger children.

Can my child wear these for competitive swimming?

These swim shorts are designed for leisure and general water play, not for competitive swimming where specialized suits are typically required.

Do the pockets have closures?

No, the side pockets are open and do not have zippers or buttons.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta and measure your child's waist and hip circumference. The stated size (e.g., 9-10 Years) is an approximate guide.

Is the color fast in the sun and chlorine?

While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and high concentrations of chlorine may cause some fading over time. Rinsing after use helps maintain color.

Troubleshooting

Swim shorts do not dry quickly

Ensure the swim shorts are thoroughly rinsed and wrung out before air drying. Avoid drying in direct, intense sunlight which can fade colors over time.

Elastic waistband feels too tight or too loose

Check the sizing carefully against the child's measurements. If the fit is not ideal, consider a different size. The elastic is fixed and not adjustable.

Pockets seem shallow for larger items

The side pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or very small toys. They are not intended for larger items.

Fabric feels rough or stiff

This can sometimes occur with recycled polyester. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. The feel may soften slightly after a few washes.
