Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eSwimmers?
eSwimmers.com is a small company started by women who have been buying swimsuits for themselves and others for many years. We have tried on swimsuit after swimsuit, looking for the most flattering, most comfortable suit, that wouldn't cost us a fortune.
Our principal owner, Kathy Hall, grew up swimming and teaching swimming. Later she owned a swim shop in Boulder, Colorado. After her second child was born, she sold the shop to spend more time with her children. Now she is putting her knowledge to work for you.
We include fit and maintenance tips so you will know how to get the most out of your swimsuit, We also include as much information about the suit as we can, so you will know what you are buying.

Shipping

Buying by mail is a risk. You have to rely on us to give you the most accurate description of the item you are buying. When you pay shipping charges you are betting hard earned dollars that you will like what you get. Sometimes you don't, and that money is gone, plus the money to ship it back. eSwimmers thinks you should not have to make that gamble. We have no shipping charges on regular orders. So, if you think you want an item, but aren't sure enough to gamble shipping charges on it, go ahead and order it. If you don't like it, just return it to us in a timely manner (14 days from the day it leaves our warehouse). All it costs you is the return postage, usually less than $2.00 a suit.

What is a regular order?
A regular order is one shipped through the U. S. Post office, or other ground shipper, at our discretion, to an address in the continental United States. Orders outside the continental U.S. will be charged a flat shipping fee of $13.00 by ground, for packages under 2 pounds. For express, $30.00, for packages under 1 pound. Which means we will get it to you as quickly as $30.00 will buy. We are a small company, so we are happy and able to work with you to get you your merchandise the way that makes the most sense to you. If you would like to have special handling, please email us at shipping@eswimmers.com If your order falls outside the boundaries of these guidelines, we will email you with specifics.

How do I return merchandise?
If you are not satisfied with your suit for any reason, simply return the pieces to us within 14 days of receipt, and we will credit the full cost to your credit card. Please, all tags must be attached, and the suit must not be soiled in any way. If your merchandise is defective in any way, we will exchange it at no charge. Credits will be processed the day we receive the merchandise, so it will show up on your credit card as soon as possible.
