FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for deep-sea swimming?
Yes, they are designed for aquatic use, though they are primarily intended for recreational swimming rather than competitive racing.
Do these shorts have pockets?
Most models in the Breaker series feature minimal storage; check the specific product tag for pocket configuration.
How does the sizing run?
These shorts generally follow standard Nike men's sizing; however, the elastic waistband provides some flexibility in fit.
Can I use these as regular gym shorts?
While the fabric is comfortable, they are designed for swimwear; the built-in liner and swim-specific fabric may not be as durable for intense gym equipment friction.
Is the material chlorine-resistant?
The polyester construction is designed to withstand exposure to chlorinated water better than standard cotton, but rinsing after use is essential for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Elastic waistband losing tension
Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat breaks down the elasticity over time; always air dry.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
Be mindful when sitting on concrete pool decks or rough wooden boat benches; the lightweight fabric is prone to friction wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts do not require a complex setup; simply ensure the internal drawcord, if present, is adjusted to your preferred tension before heading into the water. To maintain the longevity of the garment:
- Rinse: Always rinse your shorts in fresh, cool water immediately after use in chlorinated or saltwater to prevent fabric degradation.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors using mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry in the shade to preserve the integrity of the elastic waistband and the vibrancy of the Swoosh print.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding to prevent odors or mildew.
