Zwembroek

Zwembroek is the Dutch word for swimming trunks or swim shorts. It refers to any type of garment worn for swimming, typically covering the lower body. These garments are designed to be worn in water and are made from quick-drying materials such as polyester or nylon. Zwembroeken come in various styles and lengths, from short briefs to longer board shorts. They are a common item of swimwear for both men and boys. The design of a zwembroek prioritizes comfort, freedom of movement, and practicality for aquatic activities. They are often worn at beaches, swimming pools, and during water sports. The choice of zwembroek can vary depending on personal preference, intended use, and cultural norms. In the Netherlands, as in many other countries, zwembroeken are an essential part of a summer wardrobe.
