FAQs

What is the inseam length of these swim shorts?

All sizes have a 14.5cm inseam.

How do I ensure the best fit with the drawstring?

Tie the drawstring securely but not too tightly. The elasticated waist provides the primary fit, with the drawstring offering extra security.

Can I use these shorts for competitive swimming?

These shorts are designed for casual wear and pool swimming, not for competitive racing. Their Classic Fit and fabric are optimized for comfort rather than hydrodynamics.

What material are the shorts made of?

The main fabric is 90% polyester and 10% elastane. The lining is 100% polyester.

How should I wash these swim shorts?

They can be machine washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.

Does the embroidered pony logo require special care?

While durable, it's advisable to avoid direct high heat from ironing on the logo area to maintain its appearance.

Are these shorts suitable for saltwater?

Yes, they are suitable for pool swimming and general water activities. It is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine to maintain fabric integrity.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring is difficult to adjust

Ensure the drawstring is not tangled. If it feels stiff, try gently stretching it or applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the eyelets.

Pockets feel loose

Check if the button on the back pocket is securely fastened. For the side pockets, ensure items are not overstuffed, which can cause them to gap.

Mesh lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure the shorts are properly rinsed after swimming to remove salt or chlorine, which can stiffen the mesh. Try washing them according to care instructions to soften the lining.

Color fading after washing

Always wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as UV rays can accelerate fading.
