FAQs
How do I choose the right size for men's swim shorts?
Check the size guide on each product page for waist measurements and length details. Our swim shorts feature adjustable drawcords, which give you extra flexibility in fit. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a closer or more relaxed fit around the waist and thighs.
What materials are used in these swimming shorts?
Most styles feature quick-dry polyester blends that shed water efficiently and resist fading. Some designs include elastane for added stretch and comfort. Each product page lists the full fabric composition so you know exactly what you're getting.
How should I care for my swim shorts?
Rinse them in cold water after each use to remove chlorine or salt. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours, and avoid fabric softeners which can affect the quick-dry properties. Air drying is best to maintain the fabric's performance and shape.
Can I wear these shorts for activities other than swimming?
Absolutely. The lightweight, quick-dry design makes them ideal for beach sports, running errands on hot days, or casual summer wear. They transition easily from water-based activities to everyday use.
Do these swim shorts have pockets?
Many styles include side pockets and some feature a secure back pocket with drainage. Check individual product descriptions for specific pocket details, as features vary across the range.
Who designed the Myprotein swim shorts collection?
All our swim shorts are created by Myprotein's in-house design team. They focus on combining practical performance features with contemporary styling that works for active lifestyles.
How long do these swimming shorts take to dry?
The quick-dry fabrics typically dry within an hour or two when air-dried, depending on temperature and humidity. This makes them convenient for multiple uses throughout the day without needing spare pairs.
Are these men's swim shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
These shorts are designed for recreational swimming, training, and leisure activities. If you're looking for competition-specific swimwear, check product descriptions carefully, as some styles offer a closer fit better suited to performance swimming.
