The only thing that bugs me about this store is that the choices aren't great but other than that it is a pretty descent store if your looking for swimming equipment, this is the place to go.

If yiou need a bathing suit, especially off season, this is a great place. The rest of the store is limted as it tries to handle a variety of sports and accessories, but the swim ship is unbeatable.
