Customer Reviews Speedo Swim Short

If you carry your weight in your thighs, these swim shorts are not for you. The inseam is very short. The waist size is true to size. I am 5'9 and weigh 148. I wear a size 8 or 10 pants. I ordered this in a 10 and the waist was generous. I carry my weight in my upper thighs and these shorts were just too short for my comfort level. Still searching for a pair of lined swim shorts I can swim in. I am too young to wear a skirt and too old to wear bikini bottoms.

I wanted a boardshort to wear to waterparks to do down slides. I ordered several pairs and styles. This pair was the most comfortable, but would be best for actual swimming or diving. The fabric and fit is snug just like a bathing suit. Also, the style and cut were very flattering. I am 5'6", 125 lbs. and the size 8 fit perfectly. I do think, though, it could use a little string tie in the front like conventional boardshorts. With my black Speedo swimsuit, the black bottoms blended so well it kind of made it look like it was all one piece. I ended up keeping the Roxy Classic 2 Boarshort.

I have to say that these look quite good compared to similar bottoms. I'm 5'8" and 150lbs and I ordered a 10. They fit perfectly, are really comfortable and cover well. I'm pretty happy with these.

These swim shorts are true to size and very flattering. I am a size 6 and got the size 6 and they fit perfectly. I know they are considered swim shorts and that's why they have a liner, but I wanted to wear them more as shorts so I cut the liner out and they look great to throw on over my bikini.

Great and more sporty alternative to a skort. Comfortable in the pool, as well as being able to double as work-out shorts in the gym. One of the few swim shorts that actually have a inner liner so that you are not exposing yourself when getting in and out of the pool. The only negative is that a size 6 is as small as they come. I just let mine have a generous fit! Love!

Fits great, very comfortable. They are understated and cute. Would love a matching tankini top for it by Speedo.

These run very small. I normally wear a 6-8 in bottoms so I ordered the 8. They fit snug like bike shorts. Otherwise the quality was very nice and they are super cute.

Perfect swim shorts! Exactly what I was looking for!

I am very happy with my Speedo swim short. I wore it all day at an ocean beach and never once felt at all uncomfortable. I would recommend the Speedo swim short to anyone.

Love! I'm about 125-130. Ordered the size 6. They fit perfectly. My favorite bathing suit bottom on our family vacation. Very comfortable!

These were exactly what I wanted: athletic, youthful yet appropriate for my age, not flashy yet attractive. I appreciate that the waistband is comfortable even though it is low - does not cut in on me, which I really appreciate, because at 48, that a happens more than it used to! I ordered a 6 and the receipt says 6 but the tag inside the shorts says 8. Vanity sizing? Hm? All I know is I ordered the 6 and it fits like I expected, so I guess it is true to size. I like that I can wear them with my bikini top or my tanking top. They are modest, comfortable, and cute.

I was hoping these shorts wouldn't fit me since I have possibly found a cheaper alternative; however, they are so flattering and can obviously double as workout shorts that I have justified keeping them. I am usually a size 10-12 and I ordered the size 10.

The fit well. 5'2" 113 lbs- chose medium. They are a little big but at least the waist doesn't create a muffin top- my main objective.

Great swim shorts...would highly recommend. But I should have known that speedo would know how to make them.

Comfortable for lap swimming, not at all restrictive, and the extra fabric is so light it's not a bother. I wish I had gotten a size smaller, as these bottoms loosened up considerably in the water.

Perfect fit. The waist is smooth and flattering - it neither grips nor causes any "muffin top" action. I wear between a size 2 to 6 pants, depending on the manufacturer. The size 6 swim short was just right for me. I live in Florida and wanted a swim bottom I could just put on and dash to the pool or beach in on days when I don't feel like taking the time to touch up the bikini area. This bottom covers just where I need it to. Good job, Speedo.

Simple, comfortable, nice fit, low rise. I think ordering one's usual size would be fine. It has a mesh liner inside, so there is no need for anything else underneath unless you prefer it. I liked the nice navy color and wore it with a print tankini top with some blue in it. It was a nice match. Wore it for stand up paddle boarding - I didn't really need a bathing suit but needed something that could get wet if I accidentally went for a swim (and dry quick for the ride back home). Give 'em a try - you can't go wrong.

Lightweight and comfortable. Dry quickly after a swim. Flattering, not bulky, allowing a streamlined fit under a tankini top.

These swim sorts are exactly what I hoped. Higher than the typical bikini, without being "high waisted." Ordered 1 size up from my normal jeans size and they fit perfect. Soft fabric, but thick enough to give me some confidence that it will look okay when wet. Will be perfect with my rash guard.

More of this please! Make more of this type of swim short. 1) finally a short that's not black. 2) I'm petite and this short is a good length (would like a little shorter). 3) easy to wash. 4) like that it has an inside lining (not all swim shorts have it).

Awesome! These are perfect swim shorts. They aren't too long or too short. They are true to size (I ordered a size 6). I am wider in the hip (saddlebag area) than any other part of my body and these are flattering and cute. I'm excited to mix and match bikini tops with these.

Sometimes I want a little more coverage and/or a different look, and being short waisted can be hard to find other than bikini bottom. These are flattering, with lower rise (if jeans they be called mid-rise). Picture accurate, material & workmanship good. Flattering with a variety of tankini or bikini tops.

I liked that these had the inner brief so I didn't feel I would flash any poor innocent children at the pool, but the speedo boardshorts which are a little longer were more comfortable. The elastic of the brief wasn't as comfortable as my other speedo swim bottoms, I think it's a narrower elastic and not sewn over as nicely. They were fine, but the added details and length of the board shorts and my 8 year old's vote made me choose the boardshorts instead.

I am slim-framed, 5'9", but also in my second trimester and wanting something a bit looser while also appropriate for more rigorous swimming activities. I ordered an 8, and they fit the bill. They are low-rise and looser in the thigh as pictured. The built-in underwear add a sense of security/modesty. Hope they hold up!
