Swim Shorts
If you like our running skirt pattern, you will love these shorts!
- Spandex shorts with wide waistband
- Attached briefs
- Practical pocket in the side panel.
- These shorts stay put in the water and won't float like a swim skirt would.
- They hit close to the navel in kids, are a bit lower for teen and small adult sizes and raise for larger sizes where more coverage and support is needed.
These shorts are great for swimming, an afternoon at the splash pad with the kids or a day at the amusement park where you can get wet but would not walk around in a bikini bottom. They are also very comfortable for running (you can make them without the briefs or use mesh) or tennis.
STEP MISSING IN THE PRINTED PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS
- Please refer to the downloadable instructions when attaching the waistband to the shorts and briefs

I was skeptical at first but I made these for a recent trip to Cancun and I love them. I had two other bottoms with me and didn't wear them once. I already have two more pairs ready to sew. The fit was spot one without any grading. I was so happy with the look and fit that I've been raving non-stop. My new go-to swim bottoms! I'm even going to try them in athletic knit for workouts.
This pattern is great. I added an inch to the height of the waist. Otherwise, perfect. These shorts look good with a swim top or with a tshirt. They provide enough coverage for wandering about town and are comfortable for swimming.
Jalie patterns sizes are always a perfect fit.
I love these swim shorts! Haven't had a chance to try them out in the water yet, but on land they are super comfortable and cute. I lengthened the waist band a bit to get the band closer to my waist- personal preference. Love the built-in brief, pocket, and elastic construction for the waist.
I don’t understand why every Jalie pattern has built in underwear that is designed to be a wedgie in the making. I have a smaller than average butt and I still can’t get the undergarment to fully cover me. It’s ridiculous, especially in a skating outfit. Please stop designing athletic wear with built-in underwear that goes right up the wearer’s crack. It would also be useful to have the finished garment measurements for fitting purposes.
