Whether you're headed to the beach, poolside or just need versatile shorts for warm-weather training, the right swim shorts make all the difference. Quality matters when you're in and out of water. Fabric needs to dry fast, fit needs to stay secure, and style should work beyond the pool.
The collection brings together performance fabrics and clean designs that work for swimming, gym sessions, and everything in between. From classic blacks to bold prints, there's a pair that fits how you train and how you relax.
Who This Collection Is For
These shorts suit anyone who wants gear that transitions seamlessly from water to dry land. If you're swimming laps, hitting the gym, or planning a holiday, you need shorts that perform when wet and look good when dry.
The range caters to different preferences. Minimalists will appreciate the streamlined designs, while those who prefer standout prints can find bolder options. Whatever your training routine or travel plans, there's a style that fits.
When to Wear Men's Swim Shorts
Pool sessions and beach days are the obvious occasions, but these shorts work harder than that. Quick-dry fabrics mean you can wear them for outdoor training in humid conditions, and the lightweight construction makes them ideal for travelling light.
Many designs double as casual shorts for warm weather. The elastic waistbands and secure fits work just as well for light gym sessions or outdoor workouts when temperatures rise. Pack them for holidays where you want one pair that handles multiple scenarios.

Materials engineered to shed water fast mean less time waiting around in damp shorts. The fabrics pull moisture away from the surface, so you can move from swimming to other activities without the cling.

Elasticated waistbands with adjustable drawcords let you dial in the perfect fit. Internal mesh linings add an extra layer of security during active movement, whether you're diving in or training poolside.

Side pockets keep essentials close, with drainage features that prevent water pooling. Back pockets on select styles include secure fastenings for items you want to keep safe.

FAQs
How do these swim shorts fit?
The shorts feature an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawcord, allowing you to customise the fit. Most styles run true to size with a regular fit that's neither too loose nor too tight. Check the size guide for specific measurements, and if you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a snugger or more relaxed feel.
What are the swim shorts made from?
The shorts use quick-dry polyester fabrics designed to shed water rapidly. This synthetic material resists water absorption, dries faster than cotton or natural fibres, and maintains its shape after repeated use. The internal mesh lining adds breathability and security.
How should I care for my swim shorts?
Rinse them in cold fresh water after each use to remove chlorine or salt, which can degrade fabric over time. Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners as they can affect the quick-dry properties. Air dry rather than tumble drying to maintain the fabric integrity.
Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?
Absolutely. The quick-dry fabric and athletic fit make them suitable for gym sessions, outdoor training in warm weather, or casual wear. Many people use them as multi-purpose shorts for travel, where packing light matters.
Do the shorts have pockets?
Yes, most styles include side pockets with drainage holes to prevent water pooling. Some designs also feature a back pocket with a secure fastening for items like keys or cards. Check individual product details for specific pocket configurations.
What length are the swim shorts?
The shorts typically sit at a mid-thigh length, offering a balance between coverage and freedom of movement. This length works well for swimming while remaining practical for casual wear. Specific inseam measurements are listed in each product's size guide.
Who designed these swim shorts?
Myprotein's in-house design team created the collection, focusing on performance features that work for both water activities and everyday wear. The team prioritises functional details like quick-dry fabrics and secure fits alongside contemporary styling.
Will the colours fade after multiple washes?
The fabrics are designed to maintain colour vibrancy with proper care. Rinsing after use, washing at lower temperatures, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure when drying will help preserve the colours. Darker shades naturally show less fading over time compared to lighter tones.
