What material are the shorts made from?

These shorts are crafted from high-quality, durable polyester.

Can I use these in the ocean?

Yes, they are suitable for both pool and ocean swimming. Ensure you rinse them with fresh water after use in salt water.

Do the pockets have zippers?

The pockets are designed for drainage and generally do not feature zippers; ensure loose items are removed before swimming.

How should I choose the right size?

The shorts feature a regular fit and an adjustable drawstring; choose your standard waist size for the best comfort.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring feels loose during swimming

Ensure the drawstring is tied in a secure double knot before entering the water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Speedo watershorts remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh bleaches or fabric softeners that may degrade the material over time.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shorts away from direct, high-heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the waistband.
  3. Maintenance: Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in chlorine or salt water to prevent premature fabric breakdown.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place once completely dry to prevent mold or odors.
