Opinions on product quality are mixed, with reports of immediate defects and poor durability. Customer service is a major area for improvement, with numerous customers frustrated by slow responses or lack of communication.

good delivery but a problem whith the product itself, becareful with the beach towl , after the first wash the red colour stripes ran on the white stripes, it looks like light pink white now and for a boy its not what I wanted really. Disappointed but the poncho blue and white is perfect.

Reply from swimessentials.com

Hi Corinne, Thank you for your review! We’re sorry to hear that the red stripes on the beach towel bled onto the white stripes after the first wash. That is of course not how it should be, and we understand your disappointment, especially when you were expecting the original colours. We’re happy to hear that you’re satisfied with the blue and white poncho, though! If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Kind Regards, Lisa Swim Essentials

I sent you an email last week about problem on my order. I Didn’t receive ant answer. Dear Swim Essentials Customer Service, I recently purchased the Multicolour Jungle Swim Nappy, and I would like to request a prepaid return label. When I received the product, I was surprised to discover that it has snap fasteners on both the inside and the outside of the swim nappy. This detail is particularly important, as the inner snaps are in direct contact with a baby’s delicate skin. Neither the product description nor the photos made this feature clear. There are no images of the inside of the swim nappy, where this design choice is visible. On the product photos, I assumed the small yellow dots on the outside were simply part of the printed pattern (they looked like little suns), not snap fasteners. Furthermore, the item I received has white snaps rather than the yellow ones shown in the pictures, making it even less representative of the advertised product. Had this feature been clearly disclosed, I would not have purchased this swim nappy. I understand that your return policy states that customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is damaged or incorrect. However, in this case, I believe the product presentation is incomplete and misleading, and the item I received also differs from the photos shown on your website. For these reasons, I kindly ask that you provide a prepaid return label or otherwise cover the return shipping costs. I look forward to your reply and hope we can resolve this matter quickly. Kind regards,

We try to lead a sustainable lifestyle in all aspects of life - when plastic cannot be avoided, we go for the least bad option. This seems to be swimmingessentials. Additionally, the design is good and the swim Ring does not leak air (so far). Happy as customers!

Hi Florian, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! It’s wonderful to hear that our products align with your more sustainable choices and that you appreciate the balance between design, quality, and functionality. We’re especially happy to hear that your swim ring is still perfectly inflated and bringing you joy. Kind Regards, Flore Swim Essentials

Lieblingsteil

Wir haben ein Plnschbecken bestellt und noch nicht mal ausgepackt. Aber das Teeservice kommt dafür sehr gut an und wird fleißig bespielt. Kann ich wärmstens empfehlen!

Product fine. Delivery misleading. Took a lot longer than was shown on the website and not obvious you then have to pay import duty. Get it from John Lewis instead and it would have been next day . I now can’t order the cover that was out of stock becasue o would then need to pay the duty.

Reply from swimessentials.com

We understand your frustration regarding the longer delivery time and the unexpected import duties. We always aim to be as transparent as possible about shipping times and additional costs. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope that despite these issues, you will enjoy your pool for many seasons to come. Kind regards, Isa Swim Essentials

I am very disappointed with the customer service. We used the pool on the very first day it was delivered, and it started gradually losing air within just a few hours. We tested it multiple times and the same issue occurred every time. I contacted customer service immediately, sent photos showing the pool before and after it lost air, and even provided videos demonstrating the problem. Despite this evidence, my request for a replacement was refused simply because there was no visible hole or damage. A slow air leak caused by a manufacturing defect does not always leave a visible puncture, especially on a brand-new inflatable product. Instead of properly investigating the issue or offering a replacement, my claim was rejected. It’s a shame because my son absolutely loved the pool, but the after-sales support has been very disappointing. I expected much better customer service for a defective product.

Die Lieferung hat länger gedauert als angegeben und die Sonnencremes waren beide am Deckel komplett zerbrochen. Der Pool hält aber bisher was er verspricht und sieht sehr gut aus!

No pump or steps!!

I bought a pool on the understanding that it came with pump and steps but no. I bought something I couldn’t use. Should have been clearer!

Schönes Design vom Baby-Planschbecken, Qualität so la-la

Schönes Design vom Baby-Planschbecken, das kam aber mit Loch im unteren Ring an, sodass die Lift immer rausgeht. Preislich super, könnte aber qualitativ einen Tick besser sein.

Dear Customer Service, I am writing to complain about the inflatable pool I recently purchased from your website. Unfortunately, the pool started to lose air on the very first evening after it was set up. I carefully followed the instructions and used it properly, so I believe the product is defective. I am very disappointed with the quality of the item, especially since it became unusable after only one day of use. I would appreciate a replacement or a full refund as soon as possible. Please let me know how to proceed and whether you require any photos or additional information. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your reply. Kind regards, Clara Frances Order number: #EU42504

Our sincere apologies for this. We have already sent you an email and hope we were able to resolve this properly for you. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Brand-New Pool Arrived Already Patched

1. The pool arrived already patched, even though it was sold as a brand-new product. Very disappointing, and there was no prior notice about this issue. 2. Poor transparency. We expected a new pool, not one that had already been repaired. We are still waiting for a satisfactory resolution from customer support.

Hi Alessio, Thank you for your review! We’re very sorry to hear that the product appeared to have already been repaired and did not seem to be in new condition.

We have already been in touch and hope we have been able to resolve this for you in a satisfactory way. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Nazorg ok, maar producten niet.

De nazorg service is zeer goed, maar de producten zijn niet van goede kwaliteit. 1 jaar na bestelling nog steeds niet het juiste afdekzeil ontvangen. Nu moeten we nog een jaar wachten, want afdekzeil komt niet meer op voorraad. Dit wil zeggen dat wij 2 jaar moeten wachten op een slecht dekzeil. Het denkzeil dat we nu hebben valt altijd af....

Reply from swimessentials.com

Hi Cédric, Bedankt voor je review. Fijn om te horen dat je tevreden bent over onze nazorgservice. Tegelijkertijd begrijpen we goed dat het erg teleurstellend is dat je na een jaar nog steeds niet het juiste afdekzeil hebt ontvangen. We vinden het vervelend dat dit zo lang duurt en begrijpen dat het extra frustrerend is dat het afdekzeil voorlopig niet meer op voorraad komt. We hopen dat je er volgend jaar alsnog volop van kunt genieten. Vriendelijke groet, Ward Swim Essentials
