FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?

How do I know if I should size up or down?

Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing over time.
To restore water repellency, tumble dry the shorts on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes after washing. Alternatively, consider using a re-waterproofing spray designed for apparel, following product instructions.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust or comes loose.
Ensure the drawcord knots are tied securely but not overly tight, which can make them hard to untie. If the drawcord material has become worn, consider replacing it.
Discoloration after washing.
Always wash with like colors in cold water. If discoloration occurs, it may be due to washing with abrasive materials or incorrect water temperature. Avoid bleach.
