Best Swim Pants for Women of 2025

"I've become a fan of Baleaf clothing because they're well-made and fit as expected. The styles are attractive and flattering."

"I bought these for an outdoor event in 100-degree weather and they were really comfortable! I loved the length and breathable material. I'm planning to buy other colors for vacation."

"I measured myself and ordered according to their size chart. Unfortunately, the capris were huge and very loose around the knees. Despite that, the material is nice, so I returned them and ordered another style that was perfect."

"I recently bought the ATTRACO High Waisted Swim Pants and I couldn't be happier! The stylish design with a flattering high-waisted cut offers great coverage while looking fashionable. The soft, stretchy fabric makes them incredibly comfortable, and the waistband stays in place without discomfort. They dry quickly, which is perfect for transitioning from water to land. I’ve used them for swimming, yoga by the pool, and even as athleisure wear, and they still look brand new after regular use!"

"I absolutely adore these pants! As someone with fair skin, they really protect me from the sun. They’re perfect for pool, snorkeling, hiking, or even gardening, and I can jump into the water without worrying about them falling down. The built-in panty liner is super light, giving me a boundary-less feeling. I was really disappointed with the pocket versions, though, as they came with a full brief that created a panty line. Still, I wear these all day long!"

"I use these pants for aqua fitness at the gym pool, and they are fantastic! They're lightweight and comfortable, moving with me like athletic gear. They really enhance my workout experience, and I love how functional they are!"

“I bought these leggings so my wetsuit slides on easier. Perfect fit and adds a little warmth too! I'm 5'3" tall, 120 lbs, and the small fits well. The waistband is wide, but it keeps everything in place without rolling. After over 25 dives, they still look like new!”

“I have the black ones with pockets. The waistband is a bit snug, which I like since I don’t want them slipping down while diving. I’m glad I chose large, as I wear size 8-10 pants. They feel silky and have a nice shine.”

“These pants are great for protecting my legs from sunburn while kayaking or sailing. I love that I don’t need to constantly reapply sunscreen, especially since I still burn easily. Easy to slip on and they look great!”

"I now have three pairs of these. The style listed as Black + Yellow is actually black with pink and burnt orange flowers, which is even prettier in person. They fit comfortably for working out, and I love that there’s no built-in liner. However, I ordered an XL when I usually wear a 12/14 and found I could’ve gone with a large instead."

"I bought these for snorkeling and scuba diving during my vacation to Jamaica. They worked perfectly! The material is very stretchy and comfortable. I just wore them with a rash guard and didn’t need anything else. They also fit well under a shorty wetsuit for colder water."

"As a redhead, I needed something to protect my skin from sunburns during my week-long trip to Florida. These leggings were a great choice! They’re made from lightweight swim fabric and were comfortable to wear all day. I had no issues going in and out of the water, and I highly recommend them!"

"I've worn these twice for lake kayaking, and they are perfect! Super comfy, and I can tie them at my knee for easy entry and exit. I love that they dry quickly and protect my legs from the sun while paddling. They look adorable too! I'm 5'4”, usually a size 12/14, and the XL is a bit too big at the waist, but fits my booty well. I'm ordering a large in a different color for more options."

"I absolutely love these pants! I have them in two colors. They are great for hot days, very comfortable, and I enjoy tying them at the bottom. I'm 6 feet tall with long legs, and when I tie them, they fall just above my ankle. Plus, the pockets are a fantastic addition!"

"I really liked the fit and style of these pants. They are very comfortable, but the thin material made me feel self-conscious about how they looked on my butt. I decided to return them because I want something that makes me feel confident when I'm out."

“I absolutely love these swim leggings! They're lightweight and breathable, and the high waist is really flattering. I'm 5'4" and 140 lbs, and the medium fits me perfectly!”

“I wanted something cute to help hide my thighs, and this skirt is perfect. It's a bit short, but it covers enough. Overall, it's comfortable and good quality.”

“The material is really nice, and I was excited about the style. Unfortunately, I ordered a size too large, so it didn’t fit me as well as I hoped.”

"I recently bought the Holipick Swim Pants for women, and I'm absolutely thrilled! The high-waisted design offers fantastic coverage and support, making me feel at ease while swimming. The material is exceptional with UPF 50+ protection, perfect for long beach days. It's lightweight, breathable, and dries quickly for ultimate comfort. The fit is perfect - true to size and really flattering. The waistband stays put and the length is ideal, providing full coverage without restriction. I've used these pants for various water activities, and they've held up impressively. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking stylish, comfortable, and protective swimwear!"

"I found these UPF 50 swim pants to fit well, but they were a bit shorter than I anticipated. They feel more like capri pants, so I'll need to apply sunscreen on my shins when I wear them. They are very comfortable and have a nice high waist. The built-in panty is also quite comfy and doesn't leave lines like a swimsuit would. They are well-made and machine washable. To avoid shrinkage, I washed them on cold and line dried. They dried quickly. I'm excited to give them the ocean test at the beach soon and hope they won’t ride up too much!"

"I wanted to love these pants; they look cute and fit well when dry, but once I got in the water, they became so big that they were falling off me. I wish I had known this beforehand and just returned them before using. I would suggest sizing down if you decide to buy them!"

"As a huge outdoorsy lady, I absolutely adore these leggings! I've been through a lot of outdoor activities with them, and they never cease to impress. They are the most comfortable, quick-drying, and non-see-through leggings I've ever worn. I even recommended them to my hiking and kayaking group in Texas because they are perfect for long sun exposure. At 5'10" and 170 lbs, I got a large size, and they fit perfectly!"

"I bought both Small and Medium sizes, and I'm 5'8" and 155 lbs. I ended up keeping the Medium because it was slightly longer and more flattering. The seam above the butt cheeks sat higher, which I really liked. Normally, I prefer snugger exercise leggings, but these are more for leisurely beach outings, so I wanted a more flattering look with my bikini top. Hopefully, this helps someone!"

"I was really surprised by how these leggings fit! When I first pulled them out, I thought they looked too small, but they actually fit perfectly. They stretch nicely without feeling tight and kept me from burning during a 10-hour lake day. I was worried they'd feel clammy when wet, but they dried quickly in the sun, just like a bathing suit. I'm definitely buying another pair!"

"I absolutely love the comfort and quality of these swim pants. The sun protection feature is a fantastic bonus!"

"I bought these swim pants because they have a 28 inch inseam that fits me perfectly. I initially purchased a medium but found that the small would work well too. They’re really attractive and I appreciate the built-in panty liner."

"I was impressed with the softness and silkiness of the fabric, but it felt a bit thin. I'm not sure how well it will hold up in chlorine, so I decided to return them."

"I have purchased at least 8 pairs of these pants for water aerobics. I wear a size 12 and order size XL. They last about 4 months with constant use in chlorinated water. All nylon pants dissolve in chlorinated water, but these hold up well and are inexpensive to replace. Beautiful colors, high waist. They fit snug, stay up, but don’t strangle me. I swim in these year-round for sun protection and warmth, indoors and outdoors."

"When I started swimming laps outdoors, I needed sun protection without slathering on sunscreen. I found these pants after seeing others priced at $70-$100. I wasn't ready to spend that much before knowing if I could swim in them. After using these for over a month, I'm now a fan. They look and feel great, and have held up against chlorine. They’re comfortable enough for biking to and from the pool, and although the waist has a snug band, it stays put during vigorous workouts."

"I've owned several previous pairs of FitsT4 riding breeches and swim leggings, and they have always been excellent quality and very comfortable. I went to buy more colors for the summer season but found sizing has changed. I ordered new pairs, and both sizes I received were identical in length, which is frustrating. I suspect they may have changed factories or sizing standards. Larger buyers beware, and I hope FitsT4 reviews their sizing!"
