How it works
A different detail, built in.
The support feature is integrated into the waistband area. It is intended to provide additional buoyancy support, and the shorts keep the look and format of swimwear.
A tour of the shorts
01
Familiar from a distance
Clean styling and the look and format of swim shorts. The difference is in the detail.
02
Segmented waistband
Wide and segmented, and at the centre of the design. The support feature is integrated here.
03
Drawstring
Closes the waist. Adjust and wear the shorts according to the product instructions.
04
Angled pockets
Two angled front pockets sit within the curved panels.
05
Curved panels
White panels curve from the waist to the hem on each side.
06
Woven label
The DOLFINUS label, stitched in at the hem.
Why the waist
It starts at the centre of gravity.
“We took the human centre of gravity as the basis. The centre of gravity is around the navel.”
Product honesty
In the water.

Limitations
Support, not a safety device.
DOLFINUS swimwear does not prevent drowning and is not a substitute for appropriate flotation equipment or active supervision. Product support features must be understood in accordance with verified manufacturer guidance.
