Nike Swim Water Polo Brief Reviews

11/24/2017 Side Seam is 2.75"

By Toby

Despite what's said in the Q&A, the side seam is 2.75". Even so, definitely buy a size up. In the video, the 32" size looks a little baggy. The model and me being about the same height and weight; me having a little less muscle; and a size 32" Nike Swim Poly Core Solid -- made of 100% polyester like this brief -- being a little large, I thought size 30" in the water polo style would be perfect. Nope. Exposes too much, both in back and in front. I like minimal coverage, but not that minimal! It was also way too tight. The nice thing about polyester, though, is that it doesn't stretch out and it stays in place well.

7/21/2014 My first negative review

By Pamela N.

I have purchased many suits from swimoutlet.com and this is the first one I'm disappointed in. I read all of the reviews prior to placing an order, which were mixed about size. I chose to get the smaller of the two sizes my son wears (26 vs. 28) because it was a final sale. Although the color was beautiful on the red one, the fit was horrible. He couldn't even get it over his thighs; there was no give. Because of the price, I ordered a second one in black, yet swimoutlet.com sent a navy one. My sons club colors are black and red, so I can't even give it to one of the smaller members on his team. I guess I am out the money, I should have just stuck with the XS Turbo and payed full price.

3/24/2013 NIKE IS VICTORY

By SWIMSEVEN

I swim every day, and I go through swimsuits fairly quickly. This product has been very durable. It also fits very comfortably. There is no feel of tightness binding my legs or waist. I recommend it very highly.

7/18/2016 Great

By JCSwimmer

First time I've tried Nike....great suit...comfortable in and out of the water.

7/11/2016 Great fit...both before and after swimming.

By JCSpeedo

This suit is very comfortable, both before getting in the water and after. First time I've tried Nike swim briefs and will definately be getting more.

9/21/2012 a bit large

By pcan

I haven't used this suit yet but it feels and looks good. I tried it on, it seemed loose for my typical size so I returned it. I'll try one size smaller.

7/5/2020 Small but Sturdy!

By SwimBriefsAmbassador

Out of everything in my large swim briefs collection, this is one of the legends! Everything needed is here: The fabric is stronger, withstands greater exposure to chlorine/salt water, and dries quickly even more than so other brands, and that's saying something. I love the high leg cut; amazing what an effective dual purpose it serves, it can be slipped on and off faster, but then by tightening the drawstring, it adheres to my hips with 100% perfection! Less fabric means greater freedom of movement in the water swimming laps (my legs feel like propellers!) or playing beach volleyball. Sizing is an issue for some people, but sometimes going a size smaller results in a more comfortable fit. I wear size 30 normally, but with this water polo brief, I decided to order size 28. The first time I took it out of the box, looked at it, held it, it was so tiny, but I slipped it up my legs with ease to my hips and it fit so amazing! I've been able to get the best form of exercise with these, and maintain my swimmer's build! Buy this one yourself and pursue excellence in your fitness goals!

6/25/2019 Great!

By Texas swimmer

Great for swimming laps as it gives you maximum mobility. It holds up well so far. The Nike polo swim brief hides minimal but does look good on you. I’m 5,5 140lbs I ordered the 34 size and the fit was spot on

9/29/2017 Great

By Brandon

Extra layer of fabric over crotch area and the speedo is pretty thick.

9/20/2016 Great quality

By Jenny

My son is using this for his game jersey in water polo. The suit has held up well and is very well made.

7/4/2015 Vic old swimmer/runner Great suit

By Victor E.

This is a great suit. I lap swim 3 or 4 days a week for 1hr a day. The material seems very durable and color blue looks awesome. I love the low cut and fit. I read reviews of others and ordered a size 32 and it fit perfect. I normally order a 34 in the Sporti suits. I am 145lbs 5'8'. This suit should last a long time with use. I will order this suit again in the future. 1st water polo suit I ever bought. Very happy with it.

6/10/2015 Nik3e Water Polo Brief

By Froggy

I actually don't play water polo but I wanted a swim brief that provided more secure support than a regular brief. I get that with this one, which I appreciate; no worries about leg gaps and unexpected exposure. The fit is firm and great. So far the quality of the material is superb. All plusses and no minuses.

3/17/2015 not true to size

By J

material feels strong.

suit itself is much too small, and not true to size.

6/11/2014 A brief brief

By robtomh

This one definitely falls on the minimalist side with much less fabric than the typical TYR and Speedo briefs I've worn/tried. While there is less coverage, I find it is a more generous cut. That is, the suit has a little larger leg opening as well as less elastic in the waist (tie that drawstring tight!). In addition, the material is quite a bit thicker and more comfortable... although there is less stretch.

All that said, I don't have a long history with swim briefs (a few years) but my general observation is that the traits above tend to be consistent with other water polo targeted briefs (compared to standard swim briefs). I sought out the "water polo" style brief in my search and I am extremely happy with this offering from Nike.

3/22/2013 More like a racer than a real water polo suit

By JL

Size is about one half of a size too big in comparing to other brands like Speedo, Tyr, etc. The fabric is on the thin side. It is not fully lined, only front lined. It is not a real water polo suit.

8/20/2012 Best Suit Yet!

By Charlie Brown

Great fabric vs. the nylon/spandex. I like the soft cloth and not-so-skin-tight feel that these briefs offer. Nice embroidered Nike logo vs. the rubber stamp on the nylon/spandex. If this helps, I wear a size 38 in the Zumo Water Polo briefs. I had to exchange down to a size 36 in these Nike briefs. Now they fit exactly the same.

6/25/2019 Great

By Texas swimmer

I love wearing this for swimming laps or just relaxing in the pool. They are best for swimming laps tho. The freedom of movement is unparalleled.

6/28/2016 Good Suit

By John

Suit runs small, I had to return the first suit for a size larger than what the size chart said I should order.... otherwise great!

6/1/2015 Very small fit overall for an xl

By DPK

Made well - a good looking suit but i ordered an XL and it was exceptionally small on me even for a 35 waist

5/18/2015 Very disappointed in our re-order.

By Alan

The dye lots on our 2 suit re-order did not match that of our initial order of 16 team suits shipped 2 weeks earlier.
