Sizing is an issue. They are supposed to fit snug, almost like a speedo, but more of a boxer brief style. Big belly or thick kids may need to stay clear. Our 5 year old is average, about 45 lbs. sizing was wrong, had to exchange.

Also, the swim shorts don't have a drawstring, but thats delightful. The style should not have a drawstring. They fit snug enough on their own and a drawstring word press into the lower abdomen. Uncomfortable, and would show >>>Aesthetically a bad move.

We found some navy ones with an American flag on the front and they were super cool. (Search beautyin then look for different colors/styles)

Definitely the right fit, length and style if parents and kids are hipsters like us. Great option for those taking swim lessons, swim team, light travelers, etc. Nice alternative to speedos.
