Varsity Swim Shop is awesome! My son has a lot of trouble finding tech suits that fit him because his thighs/legs are so large that many of them cut off circulation. We were looking for a very popular suit that was sold out across that nation at all the main online swim gear retailers. It was also unavailable at the manufacturers website. We couldn't find it on google shopping either. My wife thought she had found it at a place advertising on google, but when she ordered it she got an email saying that the suit would not be available for more than a month, so they cancelled the order. I emailed another retailer advertising that they had the suit and they told me the same thing (not available now). So I started searching swim shops that don't advertise and I started looking at their websites for the suit. I finally found Varsity Swim Shop and there website said they had the suit in his size. I was a bit leery given that it was sold out everywhere else, so I called them. I asked the lady helping me if she was sure she had the suit in the correct size and she said she would check. After a minute or so she got back on the phone and said they had the suit. I said, "Are you sure," and she said, "I am holding it in my hand right now." She told me to put the order in online and that it would be there in two days. She even said that she would watch for the order. So I ordered online and sure enough we got the suit as she said and just in time for high school state championships. I should also say that the price was the same as the larger retailers. I would recommend this business to my friends and I will buy from them again.

Skip the internet, buy here 5 mins with the staff will make you a better swimmer, if your like me I can spend hours online and get all wrong info, as a new swimmer it's great to have a local store to go to, they stock quality equipment and if they don't have they can get or where to go online.
