I have been buying bathing suits here for years. Fruendly helpful staff and extensive selection year round. Highly recommender read more

Great selection and though the store is packed, the clerks are always super helpful and somehow know how to immediately find exactly the style I described. read more

Seems to be a much better women's store than men's. Some racks in the men's section are a mixture of men's and women's. Staff unclear about men's sizing. Very frustrating experience. read more

Middle of a hot summer and no air conditioning. Was gross. Lots of stuff but noone would help me. Suits piled up everywhere with no organization. read more

Gotta say, the reviews are correct. Friendly, professional Staff, whom went out of their way to ensure sizing, and answer any questions. They even gave me insight to future product. As a Senior Man, it's not always easy to find a tank suit for length swimming, which looks like it belongs on my much younger frame. Thank you so very much, I'll be back. read more

Definitely the place to shop for swimwear. The selection in the store is fabulous .Well organized in sizing and type. I must have tried 20 suits and ultimately found one that was perfect. The staff were extremely helpful and polite .I won't hesitate to use the store again. the other gals choosing suits were a hoot and wonderfully helpful. read more

I have been going into this store for a number of years (with a less than 5% success rate - meaning one time I bought a bathing suit top) and every time I go in there, I swear I will never go again. Unfortunately, it is now one of the only swimsuit stores in Vancouver, so I found myself going there once again...much against my better judgement. What was I thinking! This store is so chaotic! There is no rhyme or reason for anything and it needs a serious dose of merchandising. Once I engaged the person working there, she seemed pleasant enough, however, there was zero service offered even though I was the only person in the store. She was however happy to let me know that everyone finds the store confusing, but that the owner refuses to do anything about it. I thought to myself...maybe you could be doing something about it instead of sitting there doing nothing...just a thought... I was then reminded 20 minutes before of the closing time., so I headed off to try my merch. on. As I rushed to try on the suits, there was a sign that asked for me to re-hang the items once tried on. I was wondering if perhaps the person "working" there who was so focused on letting me know that the clock was ticking would be willing to offer a hand. However, it was only as I was dressed and leaving the dressing room that she asked if I needed any other sizes. Huh...??? That would have been nice while I was in the dressing room frantically trying things on and not as I was leaving. Bottom line - I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. read more

Continue to shop here for swimwear for family and myself. Best selection of suits for serious swimmers, along with a large variety of swim goggles that approach custom fit because of wide choice of styles. Swimwear is grouped by size, accessories line the walls, just an all round good shopping experience. Currently crushing on TYR suits for fit and performance for both men and women. No see throughs with this suit. Love the knowledgeable customer service, along with the quality product lines. Still located at West 4th Avenue and Bayswater. read more

Last Thursday a friend and I went in to this store based on it's glowing reviews, and the fact it is a local business. Well, the reviews are quite inaccurate. I found a few cute swimsuits in my larger size but all three were black or black and white, with very few styles that I actually liked available. I asked a lady for assistance (I have reason to believe it was the owner) and she just showed me the same section I had already looked at, even though I said I would be happy with a tankini also, she didn't listen and kept showing me the one piece suits I had already looked at (in the size 16 range there was a couple dozen swimsuits - But I had already spent the past 10 minutes looking at each of them). She also kept showing me this one leopard print one that she "LOVED" that I found completely foul. She showed it to me no less than 3 times, each time I said I didn't like it. What a great listener and salesperson... Anyway with no real help from her, I tried on the 3 I liked and one fit and although completely black (which as a larger girl, I'm kind of sick of. These days everything is either black, black and white, tacky rainbow, too much pink or leopard print), I purchased it because it was a flattering fit. A couple of days later as I am about to remove the tags, I notice I had completely overpaid and been ripped off for this swimsuit. Underneath their price of $125 (plus tax) is the original tag with the Recommended Retail Price of $38! I thought it must be a mistake so I searched online for the swimsuit and found it for US$29 (equivalent of CA$36). I was livid so I emailed the store with the photo of the tag and the two prices (their price sticker over the tag but not even covering the RRP) and a link to the online shop with the cheaper price and, to their credit, they said to come in and they would either refund the whole amount and I could return the swimsuit or they would just refund the difference. Today I went in and had another terrible experience. The assistant manager, Candice, was instantly on the defensive and said in a snarky tone that the owner would probably not have refunded me anything and I'm lucky I got her instead. She then went on to say that it was the price they paid for it and they have to make money and that people "pay for the service". Apparently they charge almost $100 extra for "service" for a swimsuit!! I replied that the tag clearly shows that it is a Recommended Retail Price and NOT a wholesalers price and she continued to say that is it what they paid for it. Well ladies, if you are paying RETAIL prices for your swimsuits and then selling them at 3 times that, then your business will not be in business for much longer. I will not be returning to this shop because I do not appreciate dodgy business practices. Hopefully this review will save at least one other from overpaying. Please do shop local, but avoid this shop at all costs. I'm just happy I got my money back but in no way was any part of the rest of the experience enjoyable. read more

Splash Swim and Cruise - Their dodgy business practices, marking up over 3 times the recommended retail price. Livid. - Swimwear Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Honestly there is no where to go to buy a suit and i was kickingmyself i hadnt stopped in here before buying some bottoms i compromised on. Ended up gettig a seperate top and bottom that absolutely knocked my socks off. Thier selection is INSANE and while they do have beautiful desiner suits worth the price tag, i was able to find two seperate pieces that were an incredible match that only ahuge selection could enable at a price i could justify even after spending 40.00 on bottoms i didnt like somewhere else. 10/10 will go no where else for my suit needs! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came into Splash looking for a bathing suite for my upcoming vacation. I was absolutely dreading the whole idea of buying a bathing suite - I mean who really looks forward to that! (Also being plus size - I have never had a good shopping experience until Splash!) The women were all so helpful and made me feel right at home. All the staff were VERY knowledgeable and were able to suggest bathing suits that I would have never chosen, but looked GREAT! If you go in, ask for advice and try some things you never thought you would, it AMAZING what you will find. I love that fact that its a local business too. Quality is great and the customer service can not be beat!! Thanks to the team for being so patient, fun and understanding. read more

I have to say that going to Splash today was one of the worst shopping experiences I have had. Someone initially asked me what kind of bathing suit I was looking for (ie beach/vacation vs. swimming lengths) and told me how the store was laid out in terms of sections for tankinis, bikinis, separates bottoms etc but that was the end of the service. There must be at least a thousand bathing suits crammed on to overcrowded racks and none of the staff were at all helpful. Two of the them sat behind the counter/desk and the other was busy putting away all the ones that had been tried on. I asked for help in finding possible bottoms and the one I first spoke with looked briefly but soon lost interest. I eventually became frustrated at having to get re-dressed in order to look for more swimsuits after the first ones were not right, and eventually just left the store, very disappointed. Whatever happened to service? Other reviews speak of great customer service but that was definitely not my experience. I will not be going back anytime soon. read more

This store is extremely cluttered and packed floor to ceiling with suits. I absolutely could not find a swim suit. When I asked for help I was pointed to racks that were so crowded that I could not hunt through them. The suits here are expensive! And lastly, the shop is so crowded with stuff that it's not disability friendly. read more

This place is stuck in the 1920's i could not even go down stairs to see my girlfriend. I cant believe in this day and age stores will not let patrions access to the whole store. What if i wanted to buy something. We live in an age of unisex change rooms and a store wont let a man enter the lower floor "that can be seen from above" because people are embarrassed or something. It is a bathing suite store. If that is the case dont wear a bathing suit. Thos store bothers me and i felt really dirty when i wasnt allowed throughtout. read more

The salespeople were very helpful and not pushy at all. They also carry quite a few cute suits in larger sizes. I don't love how there's a "ladies only" change room section, it feels very trans/non-binary exclusionary, but I get the purpose of it, I guess. Overall, a pretty good swim store and helpful staff. read more

I can never say enough about this store and staff! I was dreading going to find a new swimsuit as a woman of a certain age and not bikini worthy. Left with two suits and I was thrilled with the kindness and attention I was given. You can bet I will be back here in the Spring for new suits and a smaller size because of my workouts. Thank you!! read more

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. read more

I must have gone to Splash on the wrong day.... Worst service EVER there were 2 staff members who were not at all helpful and barely acknowledged my existence and I was the only customer in the store! They may have a wide variety but I couldn't find anything and the staff didn't seem interested in doing anything other than pointing me towards the fitting rooms. I would NEVER go back there again. I went to Swimco after expecting the usual crappy chain store service and was pleasantly surprised! The staff was amazing - checking on me and offering more suitable options. I left with a few different things and completely happy with my experience. read more

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. read more

I bought two bathing suits (one for daughter, one for me) from this shop in February 2014 for my son's wedding. The styles were terrific however after less than a year's use the elasticity went on both of them. I was disappointed and went back to the owner to ask for information on the manufacturers so that i could write them which the woman said she would email me the information and she offered me a discount on next bathing suit. However as these were the most expensive bathing suit I ever had I knew i had to wear it another 4 or 5 years regardless. turns out the issue of elasticity is known to the owner. What i am most aggrieved about is that after taking my email address and saying she would send me the information (I live in the yukon) she has not does so. Not recommended for customer service read more

Everything a small business should be! Owners there every day..totally hands-on. Excellent selection of merchandise, and knowledgeable staff. They will not let you leave with a bathing suit that doesn't fit and flatter, and for any body type! They have everything in stock from sexy bikinis and one-pieces, or more coverage-providing two pieces , etc. I got a chlorine-resilient suit there that was almost indestructible. They tell you honestly which ones look good, and which ones don't. They will bring you suits in the change room that are what you are looking for in your size so you don't have to keep running around the store half-dressed looking for sizes on your own. They also know better than anyone in town how to properly fit a bathing suit. I was wearing ones that were too large for years until I shopped there. No point in looking elsewhere for a suit for me! read more

Great little boutique jam packed with suits for every shape, size and age! Eleanor was the young sales girl who gave me just the right amount of help, input and space. Thank you Eleanor for making my bathing suit shopping experience so painless! LOL read more
