A modifiable swim short for use in a
pool or an
open water source includes a
chassis that has a front
waist section, a back
waist section, and a
crotch section. Descending below the front, back, and
crotch sections may be a first leg portion and a second leg portion. The first leg portion may include a plurality of first segments that begin
proximate a first leg opening and proceed upward toward the
crotch section. The second leg portion may include a plurality of second segments that begin
proximate a second leg opening and proceed upward toward crotch section. As a user removes segments from the first and second leg portions, the user becomes less dependent on the shorts and learns proper swimming technique.
