Crab Fest Swim Bottom Skin — Detailed Guide
Swimwear for the pants slot
Crab Fest Swim Shorts is the name used in ARK: Survival Ascended; in ARK: Survival Evolved the same item is called 
Crab Fest Swim Bottom Skin. It is a cosmetic skin, and the game explains what it does: "You can use this to skin the appearance of pants into swim trunks on men or a bikini bottom on women. Warning—might pinch a little." Applied to a pair of pants, it changes how they look.
The Summer Bash connection
The ARK Wiki ties this skin to ARK: Summer Bash 2020 and says it has been available in every Summer Bash event since. It gives 312.9 as the version that added it. For the 2020 event the wiki describes two ways to craft it:
Cooking Pot: 50 of any one of these: 
Prime Meat Jerky, 
Cooked Lamb Chop, 
Cooked Prime Fish Meat or 
Cooked Prime Meat.
Smithy: 5 
Popsicle.
Crafting values and weight
A craft yields one skin and gives 3.2 XP. The wiki and our ASE row both list a crafting time of 5 seconds. The skin weighs 0 and does not stack, so each one uses its own inventory slot.
