Swimcore did its job
Always got a good response to my inquiries. Customer service always replied promptly and would find out answers if they didn’t know. The company was great but the transportation people both in the UK & US made this a long drawn out experience. Would by from them again but would request a different shipping option. Than you Swimcore

It has to be said - Italians do it better !
I had a problem, I had bought a pair of Italian 'Cressi' swimming goggles twice by mistake. When I phoned the company to explain I spoke to an extremely pleasant Italian gentleman, who was very understanding and considerate. We came to satisfactory agreement - which they didn't legally need to - and he immediately replaced the goggles with a pair of 'Cressi@ sunglasses that I mentioned I liked. No fuss, no hassle, no argument just simple common sense prevailed, a rare experience these days. It was a pleasure to deal with Swimcore and I would certainly recommend them, and do business with them again...5 stars.

We truly appreciate your kind words (and we’ll gladly take that “Italians do it better” compliment 😄). It was an absolute pleasure helping you, and we’re so glad we could sort things out quickly and fairly.
Common sense and good service never go out of style, thanks again for recognising that!
Wishing you all the best,

Excellent Quality and Variety
Excellent Quality and Variety
I recently purchased some swim pool noodles from Swimcore, and I must say, I am impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the product. And has proven to be a reliable addition to my pool accessories.
It took about 4-5 working days to arrive, which was okay to wait overall.
What sets this shop apart is not only the quality but also the diverse range of items available and its uniqueness.
Overall, I highly recommend Swimcore to anyone in search of pool accessories. I will certainly be a returning customer for my future swimming needs.

Simple float, £7 for delivery and it took 2 weeks to come. I emailed asking for an update/explanation but nobody bothered to get back to me.

Product fits well and would buy from this company again. However not happy with the price of standard delivery when it takes over a week for the item to be delivered.

Dear Sarah,
Thanks for your feedback. We very much appreciate your trust in our company.
All our products are stocked and delivered from the UK.
Occasionally, some items sell quickly, and when they run out of stock, delivery may take longer due to restocking at our warehouse.
We apologise for the delay, and thanks again for your order and support. Best regards.

Men's Swimsuits WIN!
I ordered 2 jammer style swimsuits and they look fantastic and fit great! Great colour saturation! I am very happy. I'm 182cm/85kg (5'11"/186LBs) and chose men's waist size SMALL (my build is athletic). I'm a bit of a gym rat, love hiking & the outdoors and have always loved swimming. Delivery here to Canada was fairly quick too! I shall likely be a repeat customer now.

Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
We’re thrilled to hear the jammers fit perfectly and that you’re loving the colour and quality, that’s exactly what we aim for. Really appreciate you sharing your details too, it’ll be super helpful for other swimmers reading this.
Enjoy your next swim (or hike!), and we’ll be ready whenever you’re back for round two.

Trustpilot review process mobbing spoil delightful shopping experiences.
I am experiencing too many insistent messages from Trustpilot to review one small pool toy. I havent access to a pool until next August so am unable to review it. I am associating the pool toy with stressful cold sweats. I bought it because I watched my young family play with one of these in an indoor pool in Australia and it looked like a lot of fun.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with our review reminders. We understand your frustration, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We value your feedback and are committed to improving our customer experience.
I want to assure you that we have now removed your name from our review reminder list, so you won't receive any more notifications. We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
Once you have the opportunity to use the pool toy next August, we'd be grateful if you could consider sharing your thoughts with us. However, there's absolutely no pressure to do so, and your comfort is our top priority.
If you have any other concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to our customer support team. We're here to help.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope you have a stress-free experience in the future.

The quality of their products is excellent, and their delivery was prompt.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your feedback.
All our items in our shop are stocked at a warehouse in Birmingham, UK and usually, dispatch the same day.
But from time to time when an item run low in stock delivery can take longer as they need more time to restock the new batch of product, and then arrange delivery.
I hope you understand and we're very sorry for the delay, please feel free to reach out if you like to discuss this further.
We've just sent you an email with the new tracking number, as we can see the package is at the London facility and will be due for deliver soon!
Thank you for your support.

I placed an order on 11/7/23 for a swim mat as a birthday present. It is now 25/7/23 and it’s still not arrived.
I had contacted swimcore a few days ago in an attempt to cancel my order as it’s too late for the birthday now and they have told me I will need to wait for the package to arrive and then send it back.
So still waiting…..

Dear Louise,
Thanks for your review, but unfortunately, we have to disagree with what you are saying. When you placed the order, we emailed you that delivery would take longer than expected due to the high item volume and special delivery.
Sometimes next-day delivery isn't possible, especially with high volume items. Even when you buy high-volume products on Amazon, you must wait more than 7-8 working days.
We understand you had the pleasure of leaving us a bad review for no exact reason. Still, we can also see that the item has been successfully delivered. We tried to call you and left an email offering the return label and an immediate refund.
We are still waiting for your reply; as of now, there is no response from you, so please let us know if you want to keep or return the item and accept the refund; we will immediately send you a return label and issue the full refund of your order.
Thank you
Great product and service

Very helpfully compensated for my mistake on ordering
I ordered just one exercise dumbbell (instead of two) by mistake and when I realised that and explained I had thought they always came in pairs, you gave me another one free of charge. This was very helpful and much appreciated.

True customer ‘service’!! Amazing!
A company where customer service is first - how refreshing!!! Had enquiries related to my delivery date and Adam couldnt have done more to help me - including replying late evening to help - and a personal email too, not some corporate rubbish!
Best company i have ever bought from!
