What types of men's swimwear does Myer stock?

Myer offers board shorts for casual beach wear, swim shorts with shorter inseams for a modern look, swim briefs for lap swimming and rashies for UV protection.

What length should men's swim shorts be?

The most versatile length sits mid-thigh with a 16-18cm inseam, suiting most body types. Shorter inseams around 12-14cm provide a contemporary fit, while longer board shorts reaching the knee offer more coverage for a relaxed style.

What is the difference between board shorts and swim shorts?

Board shorts are longer, typically knee-length with a looser fit and lace-up waist. Swim shorts are shorter with an elasticated waistband and built-in mesh lining. Board shorts suit surfing and casual beach wear, while swim shorts offer versatile style from pool to bar.

What swimwear fabrics dry the fastest?

Polyester and nylon blends dry fastest and resist chlorine damage, making them ideal for frequent swimmers. These synthetic fabrics also hold colour well and resist stretching compared to natural materials.

Should I wear swimwear with built-in lining?

Most quality swim shorts include built-in mesh or brief lining for support, eliminating the need for underwear underneath. Some styles offer removable linings for preference. Check product descriptions for lining details.

What should I look for in UV-protective swimwear?

Look for rashies and swim tops with a UPF 50+ rating, which blocks over 98% of UV radiation. Darker colours and tighter weaves offer better natural protection. UPF-rated swimwear is especially important for extended time in the Australian sun.

How do I care for my swimwear?

Rinse in cold fresh water after every use to remove salt and chlorine. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle and line dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or tumble drying as this degrades elastic and fabric stretch.

What men's swimwear brands does Myer stock?

Myer features a broad selection of swimwear brands at various price points, including popular Australian labels and international names known for quality, style and performance.

Can I check if specific swimwear is available at my local Myer store?

Yes. Use the ""Find in Store"" feature on any product page to check real-time availability. You can also use Click & Collect to purchase online and pick up in-store.

What is Myer's return policy for swimwear?

Myer offers 30-day free returns for most items, provided they are unused and in original condition with tags attached. For hygiene reasons, swimwear must be returned with protective liners intact. Returns are accepted in-store or via post.
