Nike Swim

Nike Swim is the water-focused side of Nike, and it covers a wide range: bikinis, trunks, one-pieces, board shorts, goggles and swim caps. The gear is built around fast-drying materials and a comfortable, athletic fit. There is a competition and training line billed as chlorine proof and sag proof, plus Women's Essentials with chlorine-resistant, stay-put coverage for laps or lounging.

For men, Urban Industry points to the Flow shorts and technical volley shorts, which use Dri-FIT moisture-management yarns. Pockets have mesh drainage so they don't balloon in the water, and side-hem vents help you move. Nike Swim is said to fit true to size in a standard athletic cut. Urban Industry also notes the use of recycled polyester.
