We were taking a trip and my son did not have a suit and the stores did not have any in yet. I found this here and we really liked it. it has a lot of handy pockets and there is a mesh underwear inside, which is a must have for my son. the waist is elastic and that tie in the front is a fake, its just there for looks. they fit to size and I wish I could post up extra pix for you to see. but they are very nice and you cant beat that price.
