The Zoot Buoyancy short promotes optimal body position to take your swim training to the next level. By naturally elevating your body/legs and lifting your hips up, the shorts place you in the fastest position possible. Promoting this optimal body position in training 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.

  • Drawcord at waist for a secure fit
  • Zero Water leg band closure
  • SCS hydrodynamic finish
  • Durable Melco Tape and spot reinforcements • Gender-specific ergonomically shaped panels

Buoyancy Shorts are Great

Finally found a pair of buoyancy shorts that fit (I'm 5'4" and weigh 110#) and help with body position in the water. I bought an XS (on the border of XS and S) because I did not want them too large in the legs/hips. These also add some extra warmth in a cold pool. Highly recommend.

True training tool

I'm 5'6" and 147 lbs and purchased a large. My though is that I did not want to struggle to put it on or take it off--I have wetsuit PTSD. I often use a pull buoy in training and I though that this would be used in place of it to swim without much kicking on days when I need to rest my legs (from a hard run or ride).
Also, it would be practical for open water swims on warm days. Well, this did not provide the amount of buoyancy that I get from my pull buoy. I used it for the first time the day after a hard half marathon and dead legs. I thought my swim would be all upper body work, but that was not the case. I got a good workout as it provided only moderate buoyancy, which is actually a great thing. I don't regret purchasing it as I will actually get to use it al lot more now that I know that it will not make me lazy.

Really screws up your math

For years I have been a really consistent 1:30/100 swimmer and had such an easy time doing the math on what my 200, 400, 1000s etc should be at that pace. Enter the Zoot Wahine shorts which immediately took 5-8 seconds per 100 off my times, now the math is really difficult and that is so annoying. It appears the shorts are going to last a long time too so I am just going to be stuck doing difficult math from here on out. If I had never gotten these shorts, I could've stayed at the plateau I had comfortably been at for years, and never learned proper body position, but these darn shorts had to go and change everything.

Awesome Training Tool

I love these. I struggle with getting enough wetsuit practice and I can use these in the pool without getting over heated by my full suit. Also allows me to work on stroke form...

Awesome Training Tool

I put a full-iron distance swim with these shorts the day after I received them and the buoyancy they provided made a huge difference with my overall swim technique. As always, the Zoot quality is obvious and they will be definitely be a reliable training tool for the 2021 season.
