Kids swim shorts – Size guide
⚠️ Important sizing note:
Our kids swim shorts are designed with a secure, athletic fit and feature an integrated compression liner. The fit is supportive and not loose.
The shorts have a mid-thigh length (not above the knee), designed for comfort, freedom of movement, and a modern swim fit.
For growing children or if your child is between two sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up for extra comfort.

How to Measure Your Child
- Waist: Measure around the natural waist where the waistband sits
- Hips: Measure around the widest part of the hips
- Height: Measure from the floor to the top of the head
Measurements should be taken without tightening the tape.
Fit, Length & Comfort
- Mid-thigh length (not above the knee)
- Elastic waistband for comfort and flexibility
- Integrated compression liner for support and security
- Designed for swimming, beach activities, and active play
The compression liner is intentionally snug to ensure proper support and to prevent movement in the water.
Drawstring Information
- Sizes 4, 6 and 8: elastic waistband without drawstring
- Sizes 10, 12 and 14: elastic waistband with drawstring for added security during swimming and active use
Size Recommendation
- Choose the size based on your child’s waist measurement
- If your child is between two sizes, we recommend sizing up
- For taller or fast-growing kids, sizing up is recommended
Teen Size Notice
Size 14 is designed for teenagers and is not equivalent to an adult size S.
