adidas Men's Swimwear

When you're looking for men's swimwear, it's no time to cut corners. Perhaps more than any other workout apparel, swimsuits need to be extremely versatile and durable – able to stand up to fresh, salt and chlorinated water and repeated, often daily wear — while also providing the coverage and style individual swimmers prefer. That's why adidas carries a wide variety of men's swimsuits Whether you're working toward your new PR in the freestyle or just enjoying a day at the beach or pool, you'll find the right swimsuit in our collection.

Reach for a pair of men's swim trunks or boxers in our performance line when you're competing or training for your next meet. Or grab an adidas Originals or Sportswear swimsuit for a classic 3-Stripes look that's as at home in the pool or ocean as it is while you're lying in the sun or playing a game of beach volleyball. Both collections feature men's bathing suits built with quick-drying materials, Infinitex Fitness fabric that stands up to chlorine, an adjustable elastic waist and built-in mesh briefs for comfort and support. Once you've picked the suit for your activity, you can choose from a wide variety of colours and lengths. Stand out in bright colours and patterns or go low-key in a solid colour or subtle print. Choose from tight-fitting swim boxers and roomy Bermuda-length swim trunks. Whatever your preference for men's swimwear, you can find it at adidas.

Men's Swimwear Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between swim trunks and swim shorts?

The terms are used interchangeably to describe the same type of swim shorts for men. Swim trunks or swim shorts generally have an elastic waistband with a drawcord to adjust the fit, a relaxed-fit silhouette that ends above the knee and a mesh lining. They often have one or more pockets. Swim shorts are great for recreational swimming, lounging by the pool or beach activities. They're not so good for competitive swimming, because the relaxed fit can create drag in the water.

Should swim shorts be tight or loose?

Depends on where you'll be wearing them. For recreational swimming or lounging, a looser fit with a drawstring waist provides comfort and ease of movement. For activities like surfing or beach volleyball, a slightly more fitted pair of swim shorts might be preferable to stay in place while you move. For competitive swimming, when any drag can make a difference, the best swim shorts for men skim the body like a second skin.

Why do men's swim trunks have netting?

The netting you see in swimming trunks for men — also called a mesh lining — serves several purposes. The mesh creates a barrier between your skin and the outer fabric of the trunks to help protect against chafing. A mesh lining also provides a bit of support in the crotch area, similar to underwear. Even when wet and slightly transparent, a mesh lining offers an extra layer of coverage. This adds to a more secure feeling and avoids unwanted exposure. Finally, mesh helps the shorts dry faster after swimming or sweating.
