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?

Completely faded after one use!

I wore this suit for the first time and swam in a pool for a few hours and the color on the top and bottom completely faded - and very unevenly!

Comments about Surge Swim Short

I am 135 lbs and 5ft4. I purchased a small It is almost too big in the waist and a bit tight in the hips, but the drawstring makes it work. I really like these. I wanted something I could wear in the co ed sauna without feeling too exposed, and these are so perfect.

Cute and still sexy

Comments about Surge Swim Short

I bought my usual size for bottoms. When I got out of the pool, the little they literally feel off my butt even when the drawstring was tied. So, I went to the store to return them , and order a smaller size, but Athleta was all OUT of that color. So, I ended up keeping them and will wear them as regular shorts!

Comments about Surge Swim Short

5'6", 135 lbs. medium is too big, small is too small. The waist is slightly loose on M but it's comfy, a little low for me. The legs flare out on the back on the mediums well. I would love to see a swim short option with just a little more length too.
