The Bethany Swim Shorts are the swim shorts you’ve been wanting for this summer! I really like shorts for swimming, water skiing, SUP, kayaking, chasing children, eating ice cream…oh wait…the point is that I prefer shorts instead of bikini bottoms. I mean–have you ever been tubing and as you get thrown into the water you realize your bikini bottoms are somewhere around your ankles?
Wait…is that just me??
Anyway, I like to wear swim shorts that don’t make me feel like a stuffed sausage. Enter Bethany. I get to use all my bright and colorful swim fabric. I get fun details and a built-in brief. The Bethany Swim Shorts are the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe!
The Bethany Swim Shorts include:
- Sizing is based on our women’s size chart from XXS-5XL
- Knit fabric with 50% 4-way stretch
- Optional built-in brief can be made from mesh or nylon lycra
- Side seams are overlapped and finished with binding for an extra pop of color
- Maternity/low, mid, and high rise options
- 2 waistband options – contoured or elastic
- 4 inseam lengths – 1.5″, 2.5″, 4.5″, and 7″
- You can see all of our testers’ great versions here!
- Check out the kids’ Bethany Swim Shorts or save more by buying the bundle!

These are the best swim bottoms! Perfect for climbing on and off my Stand-Up Paddleboard and in and out of my float tube. They look cute and stay put, no riding up.
