These are nice swimming short for anyone that doesn't like a bikini bottom. They are a bit shorter than what is pictured and being 40+, I'd like them a bit longer. But they are so comfortable and well made that I will still wear them. I just plan to wear a bikini underneath for 'bending over'. :-)

I have not worn them for swimming yet and will update the review if the swim test this weekend turns into a disaster.

The draw string only adjust the waist about an inch or so. So it is important to get the correct size. I found the size 10 to be a match to my size 10 Levi Jeans. Low cut jeans boot cut.

The shorts have plenty of thigh room too. Not tight and don't flare out. I don't expect any issues with them riding up while swimming.
