California Swim

I walked in to buy multiple bathing suits but did not know where to start looking. I politely asked for help and the lady glared at me and then ignored me. After looking around a bit more, I walked out because I did not know where to find my size and the owner did not want to help me.

We tell everyone from our Aqua Aerobics class that this is the place that sells chlorine-​resistant bathing suits. Mine has lasted a year and a half. Our pool at LA Fitness destroys suits, a cute one I got at Ross faded and disintegrated in 2 months. So the ladies sent me here, and now I send everyone else here. I am due for a new one, so hope to stop in soon.

I have driven by this place for years, being that I live in the neighbor. Going on a tropical vacation in a few days and I needed a bathing suit. I have went to most of those big box department stores whose bathing suits were picked over. Pam the owner of California Swim took one look at my body and pick the perfect fit for me. I was buying my tops too small and bottoms too big! I bought the bikinis off the clearance rack, which was perfect! I got two cute bikinis under $ 60.00. What a deal! I highly recommend checking out this hidden jewel.

I love Cali Swim! I’m always pleasantly surprised by how many cute and colorful bathing suits they have. They always have lots of sizes, too, so I’m never worried about being able to find a suit that fits perfectly. There are a ton of different styles, so you can pretty much always find exactly what you’re looking for. I recently stopped in to find a bikini top to match bottoms that I already had, and I immediately found many different options to fit my needs. This should be the first stop anyone in the valley makes to look for a fun summer bathing suit!

California Swim has the largest selection of beautiful swimsuits and cover ups. The sales girls are very helpful and sweet. They are excellent at suggesting flattering suits and helpful with the sizing.
This is a wonderful specialty shop and I am definitely going to recommend it to all of my friends.

I had 45 minutes to buy a bikini and accessories before leaving for my holiday, and the staff was fantastic! They were so helpful! They really considered my body type and recommended the best colors, bikinis and coordinating accessories– all in 45 minutes. I could have spent more money elsewhere, but I wouldn’t have gotten a better swim suit, or better service.

Love this awesome place, so far the best store where they actually have cute sexy stylish bathing suits at an awesome price. Can’t believe I have been buying ugly expensive bathing suits somewhere else.

I visited California Swim and I am so glad I did. Thank you fellow Unilocal users for the recommendation! I found an array of swimwear for all body types. Their bikini selection makes it difficult to choose only one. I walked out of the store with two bikinis and went back with my sister only to purchase one more. My favorite part of California Swim is that they offer Betsey Johnson bathing suits.
They have meter street parking and I have not encountered issues with finding a space. I recommend visiting California Swim and look forward to my next visit.

I could not find a bathing suit at any of the department stores for my Caribbean vacation. I remembered Bea’s Swimwear as I pass this store every morning on the way to work. By that time I did not care about price. The owner, fitted me for my bikini.
It was perfect, like it was made for my body. The level of service at this store was beyond exceptional. The owner knows how to fit a bathing suit. Not only that, but I spent ¼ what I am used to spending on a bathing suit. I will never buy beach wear any where else. HIGHLY recommended ladies!!! I wish she sold Bra’s. Brigitte of WLV

Very helpful staff and wide variety of swim wear! I found a style I liked and they carried it in maybe 15 different patterns, which is wonderful! Finding a style that works for your body is key. Average price ranged from $ 16-​$ 34 per piece. They have a large clearance section, but most of the styles and patterns there are a bit outdated. Variety of cover-​ups, maxi dresses, flip-​flops, hats, bikinis, tankinis, one-​pieces, and more! Wish they would have had more of a selection of bikini tops that had more straps on the back.

This place is great! It offers brand name swimwear at a HUGE discount. Pam was very helpful and helped me get what I needed. I tried on many swimsuits, but beware: Trying on tops is NOT going to be fun if you can’t tie them yourself!!!
This store has many, many varieties of swimsuit in every shape and size. One piece, two piece, skirt bikinis, tankinis, you name it! They had every color, solid and in patterns! I would visit again!

A friend from Aqua Aerobics class refered me to go here. So my sister and I went to check out this place. Interestingly, I have lived in Woodland Hills/​Calabasas area over 20 years and, have passed by this place over 100x and thought the place will be expensive. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the prices were great and they had a lot of good selection. We were assisted by the owner Pam. she was professional, polite and patient. Apparently they have been in the swimwear business for over 30 years.

I don’t normally post reviews, I sure read them alot, but rarely take the time to write them.. . However, this review is MUCH deserved. California Swimwear is awesome! It has been over 4 years since my last visit to California Swimwear and I am not sure why I haven’t been back sooner. I HATE buying bathing suits, but California Swimwear has the BEST selection, the BEST prices and most of all the BEST SERVICE!!! I spent 3 hours at Macy’s yesterday, very frustrated! I am 50 years old, but young at heart and I do NOT like Woman style bikinis however Jr. bikini bottoms don’t always fit me right. I did find one suit at Macy’s which was on sale so the price was doable, normally I wouldn’t spend the money that Macy’s charge for a bathing suit. I needed another suit so the next day I drove from Thousand Oaks to Woodland Hills to California Swimwear. That was the smartest thing I ever did. I sure wish I went there yesterday instead of wasting hours at Macy’s. But I will for sure be back. The huge selection, the one-​on-​one attention I got, and the honesty made it so much easier for me to chose the right suits.. . I could go on and on, but I think you all got my point.. . Great selection, THE BEST SERVICE and really good prices and quality

This shop is wonderful! The ladies are so helpful and nice who work there! And the selections are amazing. They have suits for every size and the staff helps so you find the beat for you. Prices are really resonable! I went today and bought 3 suits! Especially for ladies with larger busts, this is the store for you!

This place is the best! Not only do they offer a huge variety of swimwear, they offer really well-​made bathing suits at a very low price. I love that California Swim has a fantastic variety of separate bikini tops & bottoms for the majority of us who are not evenly proportioned at the top & bottom. I bought 2 bikinis for the price I would have paid for 1 elsewhere. The staff is excellent — very friendly, helpful & knowledgable. They truly know their merchandise & what fits best for every body type. The saleswoman picked out separates that fit me so perfectly. I would have never known just looking at the pieces on the hanger & was grateful for the time she saved me from picking through everything & trying to figure it out on my own.
After discovering this gem several years ago, it has remained my go-​to for all of my swimwear. The best part is that California Swim is a family-​owned small business — support your community & its small businesses! I highly recommend California Swim!

My friend told me about this place when I was shopping for my trip to the French Riviera and I am so happy I found it! it was easy to find and park, the staff was so helpful and know exactly what they’re talking about! I found the cutest bikinis, a coverup, and an adorable sun hat for my trip! and to top it all off, it cost me under $ 100 bc there is an awesome clearance rack with $ 5 and $ 10 separates! I will never shop anywhere else for swimwear!

This is the best swimwear store I have ever been to!!! The selection is amazing! They have D, DD, E and F cup sizes in bikini and tankini styles!!! The staff is super friendly and they know their stuff. The prices are discounted below retail and are so reasonable and they have an amazing clearance wall. I spent $ 150 bucks and got 4 bikinis!!! I won’t be going anywhere else EVER!!!

My world is very small. My mom used to travel from WLA to Westchester every summer to by swimwear from B Dyke’s. The suits lasted for ever and the prices were discounted. That was the 1950’s. Mom is gone now… but my wife needed a bathing suit and was referred to California Swim on Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills. The owner, a friendly and smart woman and wise retailer helped my wife find a suit that fit her well and is more likely to last than others she has had. And guess what, she is the daughter of the owner of B Dyke’s, so what went around has come around…
You won’t be making a mistake by stopping here to find a suit.
Best of luck!
