Swim shorts, a basic to choose wisely
Swim shorts are good for everything: the sea, lake swimming, or a day by the pool. During the Black Friday, the selection is vast, allowing you to compare length, material, and fit. Choose a fabric that dries quickly if you plan to walk afterwards.
Length, lining, pockets: what to look out for
An integrated lining means you won't need to add swim briefs. A mid-thigh length is comfortable for walking, while a shorter cut is better for swimming. Some models have a zip pocket, handy for a key or card.
Brands to compare based on style
Arena and Speedo are focused on swimming. adidas and Hummel offer more sporty cuts with an everyday look. Helly Hansen takes on an outdoor style, while KnowledgeCotton Apparel aims for more lifestyle designs. The Brand filter lets you browse through them one by one.
Similar cuts to compare
If you want to swim more seriously, check out the jammers or swim boxers. For a more minimal style, go for the swim briefs.

One short for swimming, another for relaxing
Many people use the same shorts for everything, which rarely works well for long. A sport model, shorter and lighter, is suitable for swimming. A looser model stays comfortable for the beach, terrace, or stroll by the water.
Quick-drying and pockets: useful details
A thin fabric dries quickly and prevents you from staying wet after swimming. A pocket secured with a zip or velcro keeps keys and cards safe. A mesh lining provides support without adding weight.
For juniors and teens
Junior sizes are available from several brands. A short with an elastic waist and drawstring is the easiest to adjust as your child grows.
Maintaining swim shorts
A rinse in freshwater removes salt and chlorine that wear down the fibres. Avoid leaving it damp at the bottom of the bag, where it quickly picks up a smell. Drying in the shade preserves the colours, especially on printed models.
A colour that lasts
Dark colours hide wear and salt marks better. Bright or light colours are visible from afar at the water's edge, which is reassuring when watching children. Patterns should also be chosen based on the sun: some fade faster than others.
