Our Small Family Competitive Swim Business...Still Here After 25 Years!

Summary: Jeannie reflects on 25 years of Splashwear Aquatics and explains how personal service, swimming experience, competitive pricing, custom team branding, and genuine relationships distinguish a small family-run swim business from larger retailers.

25 years? Where did the time go?

Yes... Splashwear Aquatics is 25 years old, and we are still kicking ! Literally...we have all your swim-kicking needs!

I started this business 25 years ago at the prompting of my daughter’s swim coach, Paul Blair. He saw something in me that made him think I would be good at this.

I was an active stay-at-home mom...and I loved it. But I also love a challenge, and this seemed like the perfect fit for me. I never dreamed the business would grow and thrive like it has, but here we are. I really just thought it would be a fun thing to do for a while.

I intentionally kept it small. I never had ideas of “Swimsuit World Domination,” but I worked hard and built a great business...and it has worked wonderfully for me.

At my age, I really don’t need to work anymore, but I love the relationships I have built, and I still love the challenge of finding ways to relate and connect with my customers.

Okay, so at this point, you are probably wondering why I am writing this.

It just dawned on me that it’s time for me to talk about the benefits of dealing with a small business over a huge corporation. Here are some of the key reasons you and your team should consider Splashwear Aquatics as your team dealer.

We Build Relationships With Our Customers

That is our focus.

We don’t just want to sell you stuff and then never talk to you again. I mean, of course, if that is what you want, we will be that for you. But if you want personalized service, we are specialists in that area, and we pride ourselves on giving you the best service anywhere.

To me, that is number one.

Experience

Stacia and I have been in and around swimming for many years. We have both had many swimming roles—including swimmer, coach, swim mom, and official—under our belts, so we can relate to almost any swimming customer.

We can help you find the proper fit for suits, goggles, caps, and more. We can also explain the benefits of different materials, swimming equipment, and accessories.

We have been around swimming for so long that we have seen almost everything.

Need a fundraiser?

We have ideas!

Need a gift?

We can help with that!

Looking for that unicorn item?

We will do our best to find it for you!

These are just a few of the benefits of working with someone who has the knowledge to help you find what you need.

Price

Because we don’t have the huge overhead of larger companies, we have a little more room to give you the best prices.

Customization and Team Branding

Customization and team branding are areas where small dealers can truly excel.

We will work with you to design the perfect items to make you and your team look and feel amazing. We have curated an incredible customization team to create designs and provide you with a one-of-a-kind look—including suits, caps, apparel, pool supplies, training supplies, and more.

Streamlined Team Ordering

If you are local, you can send your team to our store for fittings and help finding everything they need.

Or, your swimmers can visit your team’s custom page on our website and place their orders directly through it.

So easy!
