A swim staple

Better than the previous version. I loved the old ones, but the waistband in these stay in place better. Great for in the water. No fuss, and chlorine safe with no fading.

Right amount of coverage

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.

Swim shorts

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…

Staple Short for Summer

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…

So comfortable!

This is exactly what I was looking for! This bathing suit bottom provides so much coverage! The fabric is breathable and smooth! The waist band is very sturdy and stays in place! No adjusting!
These bottoms not only cover my whole bottom but they provide perfect coverage and support for my lower belly too! AND they have pockets! No more uncomfortable shorts over cheeky bottoms these kick shorts are amazing! Buying more colors asap!

Functional and stylish!

These bottoms are extremely comfortable and let me have fun and do some serious work in the pool. The design is simple yet effective. They actually have some pockets, storage on both sides of the swimsuit. Big enough and secure to hold my phone on either side. These are so fun, with an adorable style that looks like a throwback swimsuit bottom.

Nike Swim Shorts

First time wearing a pair of these and I loved the flexibility and security I received. They aren’t too tight which could make them uncomfortable after being in water. The material is soft and stretchy but breathable. They did not shrink in the dryer after one wash. I will be wearing these more often and getting more colors because they are useful for aqua therapy and any type of pool fitness days.

Great pool shorts

Nike Swim Effortless Essential Women's Kickshort are comfortable. The shorts wears very light, fits a bit tight over my thick legs, and it can withstand a good summer pool day. It has gone in the washer and drier couple times without fading or without it losing any of its texture. I have been wearing it for my warm up swims before the gym workout. Pocket on the side is nice and deep to keep stuff…

Endurance Swimming Dream Bottoms

The Nike swim kickshorts are so soft and comfy. I can even wear them wet for a long time and don't have chafing even while getting in and out of the pool many times. They also move great with me no matter how intense my exercise gets. I've been using them for triathalon training and I couldn't have asked for better bottoms for my endurance swimming. I am a big fan of the 2 pockets as well. They…

Very Versatile Swim Bottoms

It is really nice to have something in my closet for swimming that adds more coverage when I want it. These kickshorts are incredibly comfortable. So comfortable in fact that I've considered wearing them to yoga and other exercise classes. They don't ride up at all either so I could easily get away with wearing them for all kinds of exercise. For swimming they are amazing. I can wear them for…
