How it's used
Refers specifically to the tight fitting garment worn by men for swimming. While some people might use the generic term 褲 for any type of trousers, using 泳褲 is necessary to distinguish them from regular shorts or casual wear.

Common mistake
Avoid using the Mandarin term 游泳褲, as it sounds unnatural and overly formal in Cantonese. Simply using 泳褲 is the standard way to refer to them in daily life.
