Splash Swim and Cruise

Love this store ! Always find great swimsuits & swim accessories for my grandkids here. Good selection. Many one of a kind. Rather pricey, but worth it. Staff are pleasant.

I came here to price compare on some swim wear now that the weather is getting a bit nicer. Limited selections for my body type, however, for a small store they do have a lot of different materials shades and styles. Very good customer service.

Hunting for a swimsuit is not my speciality and at this place, there really wasn’t much help. The girl asked what i was looking for and I told her what I needed to hide (LOL!) and she showed me a couple of suggestions however when you’re faced with hundreds of suits, it’s rather daunting! I found some that I liked and went to the change rooms (which had some guy walking around… boys not allowed unless they’re changing themselves!) esp when the rooms are curtained off. Didn’t buy anything there and probably won’t go back.

Really need to write about this place. I didn’t have much expectation but this place is better than what it looks. They have about 2 staffs in the front, 2 in the back, and 1 in the changing area. Where you don’t have to walk out in your loosely fit swimwear trying to catch the girl who’s in the front. They even provide you with disposable thongs (where you get when you go to the spa).
–1 star because it’s more for bigger sizes. only about 10 bikinis for size 4.

Splash Swim shop has a wide variety of swim wear, from fashion lycra to sturdy polyester (won’t fall apart in chlorine pools) suits. What I liked about my recent visit is the staff is still so very helpful and knows where every item is in this store. The cruise or holiday fashion swim wear is stunning — pricey but gorgeous; they even stock Ed Hardy designs. Buy before your cruise and you will be amongst the most chic at poolside. Suits are displayed according to size and style; but don’t be shy — these folks will not try to upsell you, they just want you to have a well-​fitted suit that you like. The private change rooms in the back of the store, along with the basket for reject suits shows these folks care about their customers. Accessories such as rashguards, sunblock, goggles and swim fins cover the walls from floor to ceiling. They even stock swimdresses for modest women. You won’t find these anywhere else in Vancouver. I tried the department store sales this summer, but came back to Splash to purchase. Wide range of prices. Bonus-​lots of parking on the street!

I don’t think I’m the only woman to complain about swimsuit shopping at some point in her life and I’ve always relied on the staff to keep me feeling okay about fluorescent lighting, which is exactly what Splash Swim and Cruise has in droves, great customer service! The variety of swimwear, which I am familiar with, and the cruise wear, which I am NOT so familiar with are available in a gazillion styles and labels. Part of my trouble with this store is the seemingly disorganized way everything is displayed, I became agitated after a few minutes of trying to find what I wanted.
Along with unisex swimwear, Splash has a great variety of swimming essentials, from goggles to swim caps and nose plugs.
