They're swim trunks, not water shorts

I bought these expecting them to be light and airy "shorts" that dry easily when they get wet. However, they have a mesh liner so they're really not shorts at all.. they're swim trunks. The only mention of this is one bullet in the middle of a list that says "interior mesh briefs for breathability and comfort". This really should be more prominently called out. I was shopping for true shorts.
