I won't ever buy anything from Metro Swim Shop and I really hope that no one has to go through what I went through. I ordered a swim parka on-line from them and they canceled my order for no apperant reason. After talking to rude customer service and having them told me that my order had been cancel, I ordered another one from swim200 shop. It was great. Three weeks later I got a parka from Metro Swim shop and also find out that they charge my credit card twice. Now I am stuck with two parkas and a bunch of extra charge on my credit card and clueless customer service people on the phone.
Did anyone here order from them before? Do you also know a good website to order swimming things??

Sure, gas is an issue these days. The store by me is owned by a local family who coaches and supports youth swimming programs (the dad was a coach from another local team when I was a kid and still coaches there today and his kids coach and swim)...I would much prefer to support independent stores who give back to my community with my money. It's a personal choice.
I shop at Swimco for much the same reason - they sponsor meets and open water swims. Mind you, all I ever buy are goggles, so they aren't exactly getting rich from me, but it's the principle.
