Quality and comfort combined

I’ve been really happy with the Nike Swim Effortless Essential Women’s Kickshorts! They’ve been super comfy, and for someone smaller (5’0”, 98 lbs), they fit surprisingly well. The material has a great amount of stretch and feels supportive without being too tight.

One thing I really appreciate is the side pockets. They’re actually handy and can hold a phone, which is great when you’re…

Perfect two piece bottom with a little extra coverage.

Summer is about here and I know I’m in need of new swimwear. I’m not 20-something anymore, so wearing skimpy bikinis left the chat awhile ago. So when I got the chance to order this Nike Swim Effortless Essential Women’s Kickshorts, I was excited to give them a try.
I’m a 5’3 US size 10 female who usually wears a size large in bottoms, so that’s the size I tried. While the kickshorts are form…

Nike Swim Effortless Essential Women's Kickshort

These swim shorts are great!!! I love that they are mid-rise so they cover my little pouch of a belly. The pockets are a nice touch and can fit my phone I just got to remember to take it out when I get in the water lol. There is full coverage in the back so nothing is hanging out and everything is covered. The teal color is too cute!!! Definitely get these if you're looking for mid-rise, full coverage swim shorts.

Weird cut & fits small

I did not like these swim shorts at all. They were extremely tight and the cut was weird. They would not pull on all the way up my behind. Meaning the top of by behind was showing. Maybe made for a smaller/flat person. Maybe make them stretchier for swimming more spandex. While they did stretch just not for swimming. Will give these to my daughter to wear as night shorts.

Swim shorts

First off love the color and love the fact that they are shorts and not bikini style. Love how soft it feels. I also like that they aren’t low rise shorts so it actually gives your tummy a bit of coverage. I enjoy the fact that these swim shorts have pockets on the sides. Easy on and easy off.

Perfect!

These Swim Effortless Essential Kickshorts are sooo perfect! Just the right amount of coverage. Comfortable yet cute. My main concern is my stomach area, these bottoms don’t emphasize it. Never thought I’d find a high waisted bottom that isn’t horrific looking tbh. I’m sooo happy! I’m a true medium but I ordered a large in these. It’s my preference to size up in swimsuits but I would say you can…

Great swim short

Love the Nike Kickshort. Fit is true to size and super comfy. Love the design with small pocket. Fabric feels great and also high quality. Fun summer blue color. Can mix and match with other tops. Totally recommend!

Swim shorts

I really liked these swim shorts. They’re comfortable, flattering, and give a lot more coverage than regular bikini bottoms without looking bulky. The material feels thick and supportive, and they stay in place really well while swimming or being active. I also liked that they’re fully lined and feel good quality compared to cheaper swimwear.

The high-waisted fit made me feel more confident…

Too short

The shorts for my taste are too short and when I pull them down and start to walk they ride up. They are not see through and the waist band is on the medium thickness and seems to be a mid rise. The material is nice and for summer is great. I don’t like the pockets they are inconvenient because of the opening being at a front angle so it feels like the shorts are backwards when wearing.

Pockets are a plus!

Right off the bat I love the pockets! I do wish the length was a little bit longer. They're comfortable and cute otherwise!
