PETA friendly!

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.

Poorly made shorts

Quality is awful. Sizing is also way off on these. Why are they so short and wide this year? They are not flattering. Some women want a bit more coverage in some areas. Returned. Please bring back your old swim shorts.

Comments about Surge Swim Short

These swim shorts are very comfortable and easy to move around in. I got a bigger size than normal, and they are very roomy. I could have sized down, but I am keeping these as they feel good.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Comments about Surge Swim Short

I bought 3 swim suits from Athleta this month. Seems like it has been years and years since they discontinued all the amazing cute prints… I'm still wearing Athleta suits from 10 years ago, cuz that is the last time they were irresistible. I used to spend $300-$500 on Athleta suits, specifically swim shorts, but the pickings here been slim to none for nearly a decade. This year I bought the same suit twice, and then mismatched suit for a total of 3 suits. Please bring back your fabric buyer who used to keep us all looking adorable at the pool. Is this a 'corporate decision'?

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

#sweepstakes. Love these for girls. Wish this had been an option this year for girls swimwear. Luckily my daughter is on tall side for her age and was able to fit into an xs in this. She prefers more coverage for top and bottoms in swimwear.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I ordered these on a whim, but find them to be very flattering and may order in another color. I find they run a bit big, but don't mind the fit.
