I recently started swimming again, and this appears to be the only short pair of trunks on the market for workout/athletic swimming. I have, at present, a good 36 to 37 inch waist, and I just fit into the large size (so the size chart is pretty spot on). I like the freedom afforded by the short 14.5 (or so) outseam and 3.5-4 inch inseam. They're long enough to be modest but short enough to minimize the bulk. I wouldn't want them to be any longer.

Like my previous Speedo trunks, the fabric dries quickly, and the suit feels well-made. The only thing that would make it better is at least one pocket, should I have to use these at a hotel pool or other location without a locker room for storing a key or cash. I prefer board shorts at water parks.
I plan to buy another pair.
