the shorts men or boys wear to go swimming
Swimming trunks are a type of swimwear worn by men and boys, typically made from lightweight, quick-drying fabric. They are designed to fit snugly around the waist and hips, with a relatively high leg cut that allows for ease of movement in the water. Swimming trunks can come in various styles, from traditional tight-fitting briefs to longer board shorts that extend down to the knee. They are popular for recreational swimming, as well as for competitive swimming and other water sports. Many swimming trunks also feature a drawstring or elastic waistband to ensure a secure fit, and some may have a lining for added comfort and support.
