Swimming Pants
Swimming pants, also known as swim trunks, board shorts, or jammers (depending on style and length), are outer garments worn by people while swimming, sunbathing, or participating in water sports. They provide coverage, comfort, and often quick-drying properties.
Materials
- Polyester: The most common material due to its durability, resistance to shrinking and stretching, and quick-drying nature. Often treated with a water-repellent finish.
- Nylon: Similar to polyester, offering good durability and stretch, but generally dries slower.
- Spandex/Elastane/Lycra: Often blended with polyester or nylon to provide stretch and a closer fit, particularly in competitive swimwear (jammers, briefs).
- Microfiber: A synthetic material known for its softness, quick-drying properties, and lightweight feel.
- Board shorts often utilize heavier-weight polyester or a blend of polyester and cotton for increased durability and resistance to abrasion.
Purpose & Function
- Coverage: Provides modesty and protection from the sun.
- Comfort: Designed for freedom of movement in the water.
- Quick-drying: Minimizes discomfort after exiting the water.
- Sun Protection: Some fabrics offer UV protection.
- Buoyancy (minimal): While not designed for flotation, some thicker materials may offer slight buoyancy.
Usage Scenarios
- Recreational Swimming: Pools, beaches, lakes.
- Water Sports: Surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling.
- Competitive Swimming: Racing (jammers, briefs are common).
- Beach Activities: Volleyball, sunbathing, walking.
Common Types
- Board Shorts: Longer length (typically to the knee or below), often with a lace-up closure and a cargo pocket. Commonly used for surfing and other water sports. Tend to be looser fitting.
- Swim Trunks (also known as classic swim shorts): Shorter length, typically ending above the knee. Often feature an elastic waistband and a mesh liner. Versatile for general swimming and beach use.
- Square Leg Swimsuits: A more modern cut with a square shape around the leg opening. Offers more coverage than briefs but less than board shorts.
- Briefs (Speedos): Close-fitting, minimal coverage swimwear commonly used in competitive swimming.
- Jammers: Tight-fitting, full-length swimwear used in competitive swimming to reduce drag.
- Swim Shorts with Liner: Most swim pants include a mesh liner for added support and comfort.
- Rash Guards (often paired): While not pants, often worn with swim pants for sun protection and to prevent chafing.
