I’m very happy with my shorts. They fit well and arrived quickly. I love that they are great for swimming laps at the pool without wearing skimpy swimmers. The peacock colour matches with black as well as blue. The only comment I have is that I didn’t like the extra layer of inbuilt undies so I removed this as you wouldn’t have this in a standard one piece swim suit.

Very happy with these shorts and with the fabulous customer service. Australia Post lost the first pair I ordered in the mail and the guys at Ocean Road Swimwear followed up with Australia Post while sending me out a completely new pair with no hassle. They were so easy to deal with and got onto things so quickly that I can now take my swimshorts with me on holiday.
