Very pleased with my purchases.
Swim shorts were exactly as described and the size was also just as described. This is the second pair I have purchased and recommend the company very highly.

I didn’t realize if you buy something from marketplace on Nordstrom has to be returned within three months. Even if never worn tag still on, they will not let return or exchange not even a gift card.

Perfect swim shorts
Comfortable fit…not too tight. I would buy another swim short.

Swimming comfort!
These are my second pair of swim shorts and I love the fit. Decided to get a more colorful pair this time. Most of my swimming is in a pool and I thought I cared for my first pair properly but they had to be replaced after a year of wear. Only reason I didn’t choose 5 stars.

Great colors and fit.
These fit just right. Other orders in this size did not. Looking forward to wearing at Water Aerobics soon. I love the color and pattern.

Swimwear Favorite
I LOVE these swim shorts from Calypsa. They offer a good amount of coverage without being frumpy. For reference, I’m 5’2 and about 98 pounds, and I bought a size xs.
My first Calypsa purchase was several years ago when I bought these swim shorts in black. They held up well for a long time - maybe five years - but the elastic in the waist band started disintegrating last summer, so it was time for a replacement. As long as the company carries this still, I’ll remain a loyal shopper. These are my absolute favorite swim bottoms! But Calypsa, PLEASE carry some trendier colors and prints!
