Men's ULTRA Buoyancy Short - Gold
Elevate your swim training with the NEW 2023 Zoot Buoyancy Shorts. These shorts promote optimal body position by naturally elevating your body/legs and lifting your hips up, putting you in the fastest position possible. Training with optimal body position creates muscle memory that allows for a more efficient stroke on race day. Designed with the same high-end Yamamoto materials as all of Zoot Wetsuits, the Buoyancy Short is durable and will hold up to hours of pool and open-water use. Rinse with fresh water after each use.

They are great. I’ve already had a pair and this pair is replaced the other ones.
This was my first time wearing a pair of buoyancy shorts. They fit great and I could not get over the improved swim times. I wound definitely recommend them.
I’m a size 35-36, thinking a Large would be good. It was, but it was just slightly snug. Return was really easy and fast. Ordered an XL & it was perfect. I agree with others that the drawstrings need to be longer.
This short was perfect with keeping my butt level (I always drag my lower body when swimming). In the pool, it made me ten seconds/100 yard pace faster. In the open, rough ocean of the North Shore of Oahu for the swim series, it really made a huge difference and I was about 30 seconds/100 yards pace, faster! To each their own though, that was just my experience. Once the water gets in between the shorts and your skin, that water stays warm, just like a wetsuit.
I was lucky and found an online coupon for Zoot to drop the regular price a lot. Look for an online coupon before purchasing, if you want to save some money.
Highly recommend! Check out my photo. It’s great stuff!
Working on correcting my sinking legs. Swimming lots of laps with a pull buoy is a hassle. These swim shorts have nearly as much buoyancy as a pull buoy and they free up the legs to work on the kick. I don't think they are legal for non-wetsuit triathlon swims but they are good for training and maybe muscle memory will kick in on race day (you can always hope). I'm 5' 10" and 170 lbs. and medium size fits me fine. I was worried they were too tight but once in the water fit is perfect. They are pretty much like a wetsuit in that you will probably want to wear something under them since the seams are exposed and a bit uncomfortable on the skin. Overall very high quality and they swim great.
Needs a longer draw string, then it would be perfect!
