Can anyone tell me where to find a good pair of shorts for swimming or
paddling that have pockets that zip closed? I can not find any except with
velcro and they do not really close securely.



Go for the Landsend pair suggested by Michaud. The EMS pair is
sub-satisfactory because it doesn't have a belt. You really don't
want to be a laughingstock because you had yer pants pulled off by a
swift current or turbulent wave or hydraulic.

No belt, but they have a drawcord. Drawcords are more comfortable than
belts with buckles when you're sitting down all day.
