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.

This store is huge and has tons of running, trail, and court sneakers as well as all sorts of…read moreassorted clothing and accessories to support your fitness. They also have machines that measure your feet and movement style to help guide what sorts of shoes you should buy. The selection here is impressive. They also have a VIP membership that you can buy for $20 for the year that gives you discounts and a more generous return policy. Even better, there's a permanent "tent sale" on the left side of the building where they offer discounted & discontinued shoes and lightly returned shoes for a fraction of the original cost. I've found great shoes here in the past. The staff is very helpful and the selection is usually good. The only downside of this place is that it can get very busy on weekends & sometimes the prices to buy shoes can take a long time. When that happens, the cute lil' water robot & little shacks that the store provides to customers helps to make it not so bad. Plenty of parking in the huge share lot! Peace.

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.
