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...

Not a fan

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!

These are lined, but I got them to wear over my bathing suits or with a tee shirt when riding on a boat. Love how they fit, not too tight, feel and look great.

Wish this came one size smaller. Seems like a perfect swim bottom for me. Normally XS fits me great but this XXS was still too big. I think this is another case of vanity sizing.

Perfect length. Color is as pictured and will go with many of my tops. I'm usually a medium and that's what I ordered. A small may have worked, but I'm keeping these. For reference, I am 5'4" and 138 lbs.

didn't work for me

Comments about Surge Swim Short

I normally have really good luck with Athleta swim wear but this style swim short was a miss for me. A disappointment too because I like the swim short option for certain water sports.

Best swim shorts!

I love the fit and color of these swim shorts. Perfect for days you will be more active or just want more coverage. For reference, I wear size 6 to 8 in Athleta and size M worked well.

Very comfy

Does not look like swim wear so it's great to wear before and after going to the pool or in a spa.
