FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?

While they are chlorine-resistant and durable, they are designed primarily for leisure and recreational swimming. Competitive swimmers may prefer more streamlined, tighter-fitting jammers or briefs.

How do I wash my swim shorts?

Rinse in fresh, cool water after every use. If a deeper clean is required, use a mild detergent in cool water and rinse thoroughly. Never use bleach or fabric softeners.

Will the blue color fade in chlorinated water?

The material is designed to be chlorine-resistant to maintain its integrity, but it is standard practice to rinse them with fresh water after every swim to prevent chemical buildup.

What is the length of these shorts?

These are 16-inch watershorts, which typically hit mid-thigh on most adult men, offering a balance between coverage and mobility.

Can I wear these in the ocean?

Yes, they are suitable for beach use. Ensure you rinse them thoroughly in fresh water after ocean use to remove salt and grit, which can be abrasive to the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Drawcord becomes difficult to tighten

Check the internal channel for any twists or debris. Gently feed the cord through if it has become bunched up inside the waistband.

Shorts feel heavy after a swim

Ensure the side pocket drainage holes are clear of sand or lint. Clean the mesh pockets to maintain optimal water drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Speedo Prime Leisure 16 shorts requires simple maintenance. Before your first use, adjust the internal drawcord to find your comfortable tension level to ensure the shorts remain secure during active use.

To ensure the longevity of the fabric:

  1. Rinse after use: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in cool, fresh water immediately after swimming in a chlorinated pool or salt water to remove chemical or salt residue.
  2. Drip dry: Hang the shorts in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight as it can break down synthetic fibers over time.
  3. Avoid high heat: Do not tumble dry or iron the shorts, as high heat can damage the elastic components and the fabric's water-wicking properties.
  4. Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding or storing them in a gym bag to prevent odor buildup.
