Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for comfort; use the adjustable drawstring to tighten the waist before entering the water to prevent them from slipping. For care, always rinse the shorts in fresh, clean water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical or salt residue. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors and hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and the vibrancy of the material.
