Product Information

Full details

The Speedo Essentials 16-inch Watershorts in Blue are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and functional swimwear for recreational swimming or water sports. Their key benefit lies in their classic, relaxed fit and quick-drying recycled nylon construction. A potential caveat is that the 'regular' fit may not be suitable for those preferring a very slim or very loose cut. Key features include an elastic waistband with a drawstring, side pockets with drainage, and the iconic Speedo logo.

Can I use these in chlorinated pools?

Troubleshooting
