You know that magical age where your knees start making more snap-crackle-pop than your breakfast cereal—and suddenly you're a little more selective about what you wear in public? Yeah, hi, that's me. I still love my water sports, but I'd also prefer not to traumatize unsuspecting marine life. Enter... these shorts: cute enough to feel fun, comfy enough to forget I'm not 25, and forgiving enough to keep things tucked, smoothed, and generally sea-creature-safe. True to size for Athleta's S/M/L/XL sizing. Y'all, my gams may be semi-retired, but these shorts? Full-time MVPs.
Athleta is my go to for swimsuits and has been for years. These shorts are a miss. The leg openings are big and the waist was huge. The fit was awkward. I hope they bring back their previous styles because they were the best fitting!

So they have changed the surge swim short over the years! Still my go to even now, but my favs are the red pink patterned ones from about 6-7 years ago. They fit more snug and hugged the bottom, these have a little more fabric in the outter short portion (I guess if you have a fuller bottom they're more suited for you) I don't have much bottom lol. I'm Tall and thin. 6'1. 147lbs. The surge in general have always fit bigger, for sizing. I am an XS in these then and now. The fit, even today can't be matched by any other swim shorts. I don't have a tiny waist or hips. I'm 47 and not comfortable wearing all the skimpy bum showing bottoms out there. Any labelled "full bottom" just aren't IMO. Although the change in manufacturing, I still give these 5 stars!

Cute and comfortable. I usually wear a medium but after reading other reviews, sized down to a small and am glad I did. They're still a bit loose in the waist but drawstrings help.

I wore an S in the hipster bikini but needed an XS in the swim short. I have a size S swim short from a few years ago, and they are now too big. So I'd say these have not changed in sizing. I just lost weight.

True to size. Love the waistband which isn't too tight or too high.

Love the coverage of these swim shorts, very comfortable, true to size, which is hard to find in a swim suit. Been looking for a long time for something like these.

Great swim short once you figure out your size. They do run very big so I had to exchange my initial M for a S. Also be sure to wash them first because the color ran significantly. Otherwise a great length, I like the drawstring, and pocket. For reference, I am 5'7 and 148# with a long torso.

Very pretty pink swim short. I bought XS but was too big so I had to return and buy XXS.

Nice fit! Great for pool, boat or playing in the yard. I'm older and feel comfortable wearing these around. I have in multiple colors and try to get a couple new pairs each year.
