I'm an older guy who never got used to baggy, knee length swimsuits that cling to your legs when wet. Compared to the swimsuits I had been wearing, it seemed pretty short at first (the inseam is only about 3") but it reminds me of the swimsuits I wore as a teen. I do like the shorter length and I especially like the feel of the fabric, its lack of cling and the quick drying of the water repellent fabric. So much so, I've ordered a second.
