Can these be worn in a swimming-pool or are they solely for use in the sea?

This is a good question. I would say use them in the pool to assist with buoyancy and allow an easier kick than using a pull buoy. I use them in the pool to give a similar buoyancy to being in the sea without a wetsuit and wearing regular trunks.

are these really unisex. I am a female para tri and newbie looking for more buoyancy..approx 30 waist

Hi Sarah. There is so much flexibility in the neoprene it should should fit most shapes and sizes of people, hence the reason they call them unisex. Hope that helps! Colin. Athlos Triathlon

Are these shorts for men or boys? A bit confusing as states men's but alsojunior M!

Men's medium, bought for my husband who is 6 foot 3, 32inch waist and they fit perfect.
