Product Information
Full details
The Nike Swim Essential 5-Inch Volley Shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize comfort and utility during water activities. These shorts provide a lightweight, quick-drying experience that transitions seamlessly from the pool to casual dry-land wear. While they offer excellent versatility, users should note that the 5-inch inseam is shorter than standard board shorts, making them better suited for active swimmers rather than those seeking extensive coverage.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense lap swimming?
Yes, the 5-inch inseam and lightweight polyester material are ideal for minimizing drag and allowing a full range of motion.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts come in standard adult sizes. Refer to the specific size (XL, L, M, S) and use the internal drawcord to customize the fit to your waist.
Can I wear these in the ocean?
Absolutely. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove sand and salt crystals.
Do the side pockets have zippers?
The side pockets are standard open-entry pockets, designed for convenience rather than secure storage for active swimming.
Is the fabric see-through when wet?
No, the polyester fabric is designed with density and a mesh liner to ensure full opacity even when wet.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord becomes stuck or pulled into the waistband
Use a small safety pin to guide the end of the drawcord back through the opening.
Shorts feel restrictive during movement
Ensure the elastic waistband is positioned at the natural waist and the drawcord is not tightened excessively.
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with rough surfaces like concrete pool decks; pull any loose threads carefully through to the inside of the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Swim shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cool water after exposure to chlorine or salt water to remove harsh residues.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can fade the purple color.
- Prohibitions: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Do not iron the garment, as high heat can damage the elastic components and synthetic fibers.
