I really like these shorts - I got both the 6 and 8 inch in the navy blue to give myself some options. They look cute with the Korbyn bikini top and also with the print rashguards. I do get a bit of rolling at the waist and would prefer them not to be so high-waisted, but they still work well for me and I love having the extra coverage on the bottom for water activities. I thought they were designed for swimming, but maybe they're meant more for surfing and fitness? Either way, I wouldn't recommend wearing them in a pool. They're great for the beach or anywhere with unchlorinated water, but after wearing mine in a chlorinated pool for 3 or 4 lap swimming sessions the stitching has noticeably faded. It now stands out as a light purple against the dark navy of the fabric and they look a lot older and more worn than they actually are, which is disappointing. I always rinse them right away after getting out of the pool and wash them in cold water on the delicate cycle with a delicates-specific detergent, so I would expect them to still look good as new after so few wearings.
