FAQs
Are these suitable for lap swimming?
These shorts are designed for casual swimming; for professional or competitive lap swimming, a tighter brief or jammer is recommended.
Can I wear these in a public pool?
Yes, they are standard swim shorts featuring an internal mesh brief, making them appropriate for public and private pool use.
How do I determine if size XS fits me?
Size XS is generally suited for users with smaller waist measurements. It is recommended to check your specific waist circumference against standard men's apparel charts.
Do the side pockets have zippers?
The side pockets are standard seam pockets and generally do not feature zippers; avoid keeping valuable items in them while swimming.
Are these shorts machine washable?
It is highly recommended to hand wash them to preserve the integrity of the mesh brief and the elasticity of the waist.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels loose or slips
Tie a secure double knot to maintain tension during high-activity swimming.
Shorts feel restrictive while wet
Ensure the drawstring is adjusted to your comfort level before entering the water; nylon may tighten slightly when saturated.
Fabric color fading
Always rinse in cold water after chlorine exposure and avoid drying in direct, intense sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speedo Essentials 16 Inch Watershorts, follow these guidelines:
- Rinsing: Always rinse your shorts in fresh, cool water immediately after use in chlorinated or saltwater to remove chemical residue and salt.
- Drying: Air dry the garment in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the blue color to fade over time.
- Washing: Hand wash with a mild detergent if necessary, and avoid using bleach or heavy tumble drying, which can damage the nylon fibers and elastic components.
- Storage: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding or storing them to prevent mildew or odors.
