Reversible bikini! Fit PERFECTLY.
Jay D.

The selection & quality of bikinis is top notch, along with the personable service! I walked in wanting a bikini & bottoms to match a top, and walked out with both, plus another bikini, all fit so well. All the women working there were super helpful, were able to pick out pieces I didn't even see, to help me find the right fit. They also made shopping for bikinis so much fun! I was able to get a great deal on top of that, from their 40% off rack. I can't believe I haven't been here in my 12 years in San Diego, I will definitely be back - especially since they are fully stocked with fresh inventory year-round, amazing!

The ladies were lovely! I found tops to mix and match with bottoms I purchased online. Customer service was 15/10 and pricing is reasonable.

The thing is- I'm seriously the type of shopper who LIKES to see items worn on people & mannequins! Lol This just personally helps me visually. So, I do follow Hola Swim on Instagram (I suggest YOU should too!). The reason I waited this long is because in a few weeks, we're going to a destination wedding in Dominican Republic- and the timing to shop here worked out perfect. This brick & mortar location has been here for a few months. And, every time I've either drove by or walked by- it was closed. BUT, there's a sign posted on the door that says- CONTACT US FOR APPOINTMENTS! And that's EXACTLY what I did. I did contact Hola Swim via their Instagram- and my request for such day & time was immediately answered & there was no hesitation in accommodating me. Whew! I met Syncletica- one of the owners & she was such a gem to meet. We chatted for some time during my visit here. Her & her best friend AND business partner, Aida, have been best friends since they first met at 15 years old while working at the San Diego Zoo. The garments are LOCALLY made here in SAN DIEGO!!! And, I can seriously say the fabrics on their pieces are quality!!! This is what you are paying for!!! You can feel the thickness & stretchiness of the spandex. And, Syncletica has mentioned that the top material is lined w/ UV 50 protectant! You see- as I've mentioned to her- I would normally purchase swimwear at Target. And if you do to (or any other giant retail store) you now exactly what I'm getting at. You know the condition of their quality & the price you're paying. I bought the velvet teal/ blue hooded one piece swimsuit $90 and I'm super excited to wear it in the Caribbean!! The bikinis go for $60/ $65. And there's other merchandise available too. Visors, towels, jewelry, sunglasses, ball caps! The shop is being renovated w/ new tile & adding shelves for a new look. But, I do wanna share my love for Hola Swim! By the way- they've been invited to New York's Fashion Week (and San Diego's), featured in British Vogue, and now have a spot in Destinations (monthly magazine for Uited Airlines)!!! Support local businesses!!!!!

Since I saw it was a surf store, it thought they would have some Hurley hats. I was pushing my baby daughter in her stroller so this store does have enough room to push a stroller in. I didn't find any Hurley brand hats, it was only San Diego Surf hats which makes sense this is their store. I look at some of their tshirts here as well but nothing stood out to me. This store is also next to a nice duck pond so if you're lucky, you'll see some ducks hanging out there and swimming

We're on vacation, but to each their own guys.. I was looking for pins that I try to collect when we travel somewhere. I love to stick them in the roof of my car. If I can find one I think is special enough or reminds me of something we also picked up a hat, some sunglasses and a few other knickknacks. They had great sandal options as well as T-shirts and hoodies. Great stop. I come every time we visit. Prices are affordable while they do have some things more on the expensive side it is good quality. So I'd say you get nice things for the value they offer.

Plus, with San Diego being such a tourist town, at times locals like me get brushed aside; not here. I have been using this store for more than 10 years, and it's less about brand loyalty and more about the workers. Over the years, all of them and I mean all of them have always given me and anyone I've sent their way the absolute best customer service. This store never lets you down. Garrett has been there for a few years now and is always so helpful and is so upbeat and affable that you can't help but wish you could reach right out to quiksilver and tell them to promote this guy! Great shop in a town that nothing lasts that long in, so it's nice to have it around, along with the super cool crew that keeps it going. Locals here spend so much time in the water that it's nice having a spot to grab a rash-guard, a pair of board shorts or a wetsuit top. Hope these guys stay around.

On 2/25/2024 my girlfriend and I entered the store and picked out and tried on some clothing items. When we presented our gift card we were told by employee: Brayan that they have a new point of sale and we would need to come back after they called us to pick up our items. After a month with no call I called and spoke to the manager who informed me they would not honor the gift cards and I would have to call corporate. So, we called the number on the website as well as make an email showing our gift card receipt and they continue to ignore us. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and will continue to escalate until I receive a full refund of $150. How pathetic I have nothing negative to say about the employees who work there. The were very friendly and helpful but this is inexcusable.

Should I tell you about this place?? Well, if you did your homework, you would know this outlet is…read morehere. I needed to purchase a wetsuit as I am not about to let this summer go by and not get into the "warm" San Diego waters. Water temps are about as high as it gets for out here right now, like in low 70s, so for me, thats still cold. I need at least a 4/3 wetsuit for that temp. Yes, I am a pansy and I know it. This place has a really nice section for wetsuits and also some great sales too. I made a beeline for the back of the store to check out what they had available. They have short wetsuits, 3/2s, 4/3s, some with hoods (I like those), some front zippered and some back zipped (this is my preference), children's wetsuits, men and women's also. I already knew what I needed so only had to try on two wetsuits (that was already too much lol - you are ALWAYS fighting wetsuits). Fitting rooms available here and then I went to work battling the wetsuits. I could fit the size 4 but my shoulders are a bit broader and the zipper wasn't like easy to pull, so I went with the size 6. The cost for 4/3 wetsuit here was $150, a pretty good deal. I was just at REI looking at an O'Neill 4/3 and it was over $400! I also picked up some shorts and a bikini top and everything here is severely discounted. Sweet!! Service guy working here was super nice and helpful. He showed me the size chart for wetsuits and helped me get a fitting room and rung me up. Great place to get some water apparel here and know they have wetsuits too. They also have shoes here but not too many options in sizes. They also have bags and other items too (I forgot to look at a wetsuit hood they had on sale here - so will come back). Overall. this place was great! I'll be back! But know the parking is a disaster here, the lot is super tight, just FYI.

I was recommended to come here by a friend of mine who loves to surf a lot. This one is apparently…read morethe 'outlet' edition of their usual store. When we walked in, there was lots of sales being advertised on a lot of the racks when we walked in. Definitely makes a big difference since the clothing products here are definitely on the pricier end. My first time shopping at this retail store and they have a great selection related to swimwear!!! I was interested in buying a wetsuit and was also informed on the differences between the 4/3 and the 5/3 millimeters of the wetsuits. A 4/3 (4mm for the torso and 3mm for the arms) is better for moderate to cold water with higher flexibility, while the 5/3 is warmer and designed for colder, winter waters, and is slightly less flexible. My goal is to be warm as I don't want to feel too cold so I went with the 5/3. There's a good amount of fitting rooms that are good sized to be trying them on. My first time trying on wetsuits and I felt like a seal LOL!!! I purchased one but keep in mind that even with the clearance sale I got it for, it was $120+. My girlfriend tried finding bikinis but there was little sizing for her and lots of the two pieces were separated and the designs weren't matching so she didn't get any.
