Straight answers on Swimen swim brief sizing, chlorine care, quick-dry fabric and pool-to-beach washing, so your trunks stay comfortable beyond the first swim.
Quick answer
Choose your usual brief size in the Swimen Swimming trunks, then rinse them in cool fresh water immediately after every swim and dry them in the shade. The stretchy microfibre dries quickly, so a quick rinse is often all they need between pool and beach days.
Why the classic cut changes what size to pick
The Swimen trunks use a classic brief cut, which means they sit close to the body with no loose leg fabric to adjust. That makes the waist and leg openings the two fit points to check, not the length. If you are between sizes, a snugger fit keeps the brief in place during turns and dives, while sizing up gives more room around the hips.
Where chlorine care differs from lake or sea care
Pool chlorine stays in the fabric after you leave the water, so pool days need a fresh-water rinse sooner than a lake or sea dip. Salt and lake water still leave residue, but they do not keep working on the fibres the way chlorinated water can. Rinsing on the same day handles both cases and protects the stretchy microfibre.
Swimen trunks fit and care FAQ
- How do I choose my Swimen swimming trunks size?
- Use your usual brief waist size as the starting point. Because the cut is classic and close-fitting, check that the waistband sits flat and the leg openings do not dig in. If you prefer a looser feel around the hips, take the next size up. Try them on before the first swim so you can exchange a tight pair.
- How should I wash swim trunks after a pool session?
- Rinse in cool fresh water right after swimming, then wash with a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid hot water, bleach and fabric softener, which can break down stretch fibres and reduce quick-dry performance. Rinse before the trunks dry out; chlorine is easier to remove while the fabric is still wet.
- Can I put the Swimen trunks in a washing machine?
- A gentle cycle in cool water is fine for most swimwear, but hand rinsing is enough after a single swim. If you machine wash, use a mesh bag and skip the spin cycle to protect the stretch. Reserve machine washing for deeper cleaning, not every swim.
- How do I dry quick-dry swim shorts without damaging them?
- Hang them in the shade or lay them flat. Direct sun and radiator heat can fade colour and weaken elastic over time. The microfibre dries fast on its own, so a towel squeeze is usually unnecessary. Shade drying keeps the fabric and fit consistent for longer.
- How do I keep pool chlorine from degrading the fabric?
- Rinse immediately after every pool swim, and give the trunks a proper wash after the second or third session. Store them dry and unfolded, because damp, compressed fabric holds chlorine residue against the fibres. A dry, unfolded storage spot is part of chlorine care.
- What should I pack for pool-to-beach trips?
- Carry a separate wet bag for used trunks and a fresh-water rinse bottle if you will swim in a chlorinated pool before heading to the beach. Rinsing in the shower before you leave the pool removes most chlorine before it travels with you. Rinse at the pool, not at the beach, to cut chlorine contact time.
