Nike Swim Effortless Essential

These kickshorts give you the perfect amount of coverage without being too bulky or long. Not as long as trunks but way more coverage than a bikini bottom. They are very comfortable and fits true to size but if you don’t want them to be fitted than I suggest going a size up.

I was really hopeful for these shorts. I live in Florida so I spend most of my summer in water of some kind. These shorts will not make my regular summer rotation. I thought these would be a double or thick layered swim short. These have a stiff scratchy polyester liner that prevent the short from having a good stretch on areas that need it. The shorts fit ok as a size small for someone who usually wears a 26 pant. I do wish there was a drawstring of some sort to ensure security of the short when swimming in the ocean or diving into a pool.

Love that you can wear these in the water and that they're still comfortable enough to relax in when they're dry! These shorts don't pinch or roll up like other tight shorts (volleyball girls will know what I mean), and they're a flattering choice for when you live by the beach and don't want to have to wear bikini bottoms every time you're in the water. I can bike to the beach with my dog, play fetch, get in the water and then dry out and bike home without chaffing or feeling gross. I have the black color, and I've been throwing them on with a t-shirt just to walk around the house and run errands. I know I'll get a lot of use out of them all summer. I would recommend sizing up if you're between sizes because they are performance materials and you'll want the extra stretch to keep them comfy.
