FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming?
They are designed for leisure and casual swimming; while durable, they are not specifically optimized for competitive drag-reduction performance.
Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?
Yes, their plain-weave construction and side pockets make them suitable as casual summer shorts for warm-weather activities.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts feature a regular fit; follow your standard apparel size, noting that the elasticated waist provides some flexibility.
Is the mesh liner removable?
No, the mesh inner brief is integrated into the shorts to provide essential support and should not be removed.
Do these shorts fade in chlorine?
Like all swimwear, they may eventually show wear if exposed to heavy chlorine; rinsing with fresh water immediately after use helps preserve the color.
What is the primary material used?
These shorts are constructed from lightweight, durable polyester.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels loose or slips
Ensure you tie a secure knot before entering the water; if it continues to slip, double-knot the cord.
Fabric holds sand or debris
Shake the shorts out thoroughly after drying and ensure the pockets are turned inside out for a complete rinse.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your adidas swim shorts is straightforward. To ensure the best fit, utilize the internal drawstring to cinch the waist before heading into the water. Regarding maintenance, rinse the shorts with fresh, cool water after every use in a chlorinated pool or saltwater to prevent fabric degradation. Always hang them to air dry in the shade, as direct, intense sunlight can fade the black finish over time. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoid using harsh bleaches or fabric softeners that could damage the quick-dry properties of the polyester weave.
