large selection of goggles
Ryan M.

When I searched for Paradowski's it did not come up in the search and found it to be closed. I was shocked and confused but saw other reviews on the (closed) Paradowski's yelp page that it was still open, so I drove by. This used to be Paradowski's Swim and Sport, guess it got bought out by a larger company, Swim West. The logo still kept a remnant of the old business. If you're a swimmer, they have a wide variety of goggles, fins, as well as swim suits and wet suits and other swim related items that you'll have a hard time finding at a general sports shop. I came in to buy goggles when my old ones broke. I looked thru the goggles and they had both regular ones and optical ones with lenses that were like reading glasses so they had magnification in them. Thats the type of thing you won't find in a general sports store. The problem is that there were no prices listed on the goggles. The workers are friendly and they can price check items for you, but I found it odd that the same model optical goggles were cheaper than the standard ones. Guess I shoulda just got the optical ones. Swim west is located in the turn around area of a cul de sac, theres enough parking right in front. They took my name and that got me 5% off which I though was cool. I didn't see any of the discounted items from Paradowski's like swim caps from teams they had sponsored in the past for half off, (just extras that they sold for cheap.) If you're a swimmer they have a larger selection of goggles and items that you won't find in your normal sports shops, like a mask with the snorkel in the middle for lap swimmers, and things of that nature.

Best experience, this is my second time coming here and Ashley was so sweet and helpful. She even assisted me in which suit fit best. Because I'm in water polo, goggles are a must for warm ups and we were able to find the perfect pair. Ashley selected good quality ones in my price range and let me try them on first. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

Ashley was amazing! Very nice and knowledgeable! We will be going back for sure! We needed some red jammers today and they made it happen.

I came here this morning for an Asics Novablast 6 running event. You can do a 5K or a 1 mile walk…read more The activities for the event was held inside except for the run. It was crazy hot today and so glad the activities were inside. I tried a pair of Asics Novablast 6 and again, these did not work for me. I ran close to 4 miles and both my feet were numb by the time I returned from my very sweaty and hot run. CorePower Yoga was on site giving away 20% manager special if you sign up for membership or class package. They also raffled off one really nice Manduka yoga mat. DJ was super fun and played lots of great tunes and super funny. After the run, they fed us wraps from Falafel Heights. I had my falafel wrap later, pita outside was too dry. They also raffled off many other items but I won nothing. Overall, this was a great event and I love coming here for their events. One day, eventually, I'll purchase something!

I got back into running again and my current Hoka's were no longer cutting it. Since it's been…read moreawhile that I've been in the main store, I bypassed the check in person and went straight to the displays. The sales person did say, "We're like a restaurant, you have to check in first." There were two people ahead of me and it was quite a wait. I did do some homework online and did the 3 minute Fit Analysis, so I had my shoe recommendations ready. Once it was my turn, the person who helped me was super nice and helpful. Unfortunately only 1 pair out of the 3 shoes from my Fit Analysis that had a black shoe. I didn't want to order and get the shoes shipped so I chose the Hoka Clifton 11. Of course, they try to upsell by grabbing several different pairs of socks to pair with your shoes. But I politely declined since they're quite pricey. Overall, quite pleased with my purchase and got a discount due to my membership. Knocked down a few stars due to the wait.
