This spring/summer I came across these boardshorts and have used them so many times already. As a mom chasing kids I don't have to worry about showing too much skin in these and they are so very comfortable to keep on even all day if needed. They are very breathable and I enjoy how much movement I still get while wearing. I will be picking up another pair!

Order a size down
I found these Nike swim shorts to be very comfortable overall, but the fit ran much larger than expected. They felt loose around the waist, and I constantly had to adjust them while wearing them. I would definitely recommend sizing down for a better fit. The design is simple, versatile, and functional. They work well both as swim shorts and as a cover-up when spending time around the pool,…

Comfortable and quick drying
These are perfect for my upcoming summer. I got one size larger to accommodate my growing baby bump and I dont feel like I’m “swimming” (hehe) in them. That said I think they run true to size. The waistband doesnt roll up or down, feels gentle, but secure. They have a soft liner in them which I prefer. I wore them already doing yard work and I ran through the sprinkler to see how quickly theyd dry: FAST. Get these cutie swim shorts if youre considering them!

Nike womens boardshorts
This boardshorts are on fire. I love them. They feel nice on the skin and comfortable while using them. The design is very simplistic, no bogus colors or crazy designs which I like. Fabric is quick drying and perfect for the ocean, lake and even pool swimming. Can use it for daily workouts as well if you wanted too. I love the versatility on it. You go for a run or walk, and the moment u get home you can just jump in the pool to cool off without changing.

Board shorts review
The Nike swim board shorts have been great to try especially as the weather has warmed up to be appropriate for pool time on the weekend. The board shorts are holding up well after a few uses and have over all been very comfortable. I like the fabric very much, compared to other swim suit style women’s board shorts they are soft and do not cause any irritation to my skin when wearing them in the…

Finally Found Swim Shorts That Are Comfortable and Flattering
I am very pleased with the Nike Swim Effortless Essential Women's Boardshort. The fit is comfortable without being too loose or too tight, and the length provides great coverage while still looking stylish. The material is lightweight, dries quickly, and feels durable enough for both swimming and beach activities.
As a mom, I have a bit of a "mom belly," and one thing I really appreciate is…

Early Season Swimwear
Although there’s already been some really hot days this year, it’s still early in the season and the kids are still in school so these boardshorts have not hit the pool or ocean yet. They have been wonderful though for some back yard splash pad and water balloon fight events. These shorts fit exactly as advertised and feel very comfortable allowing a full range of motion without feeling loose or…

Nice swim shorts
Overall these are a very nice pair of swim shorts! They are an expected length for a pair of women’s board shorts. I really like the way the waistband is made as it lays flat and doesn’t scrunch. The sewn in “underwear” are comfortable, have a wide gusset, and feel breathable without feeling like they leave you exposed at all. The material is perfect and though it’s not warm enough here to swim…

Women’s board shorts
These will be a beach staple this summer! The material is super soft and I love how the waist band is thick and doesn’t pinch. They’re stretchy and move with your body with plenty of room through your thighs. Sitting in them is comfortable and they don’t fold over, thanks to the thick waistband. The waistband adds an extra layer of comfort and helps to makes me feel more confident. I prefer to…
