Customer Testimonial

It’s truly a status symbol around here to provide our employees with a pair of Watermen Shorts!

Watermen suits have been a great find for our staff. For years we'd ordered premium suits through all of the top name brands you'd recognize but never found a suit with the right fit that was also made in the best material, until we found Watermen. Not only are the suits great quality but they are priced much more affordably. Ryan at Watermen has been fantastic to work with, always going above and beyond to be sure we have exactly what we need. We cannot recommend Watermen highly enough, both the quality of the product and their service are outstanding.

The guard suits and shorts were great! I am very glad that we were able to get some traction and use your product for our uniforms this year. I would be happy to write a review for the products that I used! I will be ordering from you again next year, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Original Waterman lifeguard suits and hats to anyone in the lifeguarding world!

Our staff are loving the suits. I also love the khaki managers shorts. They are my favorite pair of shorts right now. The girls and guys shorts are going to stay as our standard issue lifeguard shorts. They are great. Thanks for a nice looking and functional product!

The Pro-Stretch board shorts are the best lifeguard shorts I have ever used! I have been a lifeguard for 35+ years and have tried and worn most of the shorts targeting lifeguards over the years and the Pro-Stretch shorts are by far the most comfortable shorts I have used. I have always cut out the liners of the previous shorts I have worn, but not the Pro-Stretch. The material used in the liners make it comfortable to sit on stand as well as to make the rescue when needed. I have used the Pro-Stretch shorts for my staff the past two years and this year, we went with the Elasta-Girl Stretch for our female guards and what a huge hit they have been. My female guards not only like the functionality of the shorts, but they also like the style and fashion of the shorts. I will continue to buy these shorts for my staff as long as they are around. Not only for the quality and price of the shorts, but also because of the people and company. The company has been AWESOME and extremely easy to work with. My sales rep, Ryan Marcon, has been nothing but friendly, professional ...

LOVE. IT. I wore it throughout my training sessions as well as during my morning exercise routine and let me just say it was one of the best suits I’ve ever worn, definitely the best guard suit by far. The cut worked so much better around my legs and thighs while still exhibiting some modesty over my rear. I like where the cut was across the chest, I felt it was a functional distance from the neck where I had no problem with the suit “swallowing water” whenever I would dive head-first. I found the material to be much more elastic while not compromising that thick, multi-layered, high-quality fabric that I like so much in your products. My team *loves* the new suits, especially the men’s shorts, and the first thing my female guards mentioned was how these suits will actually say “GUARD” on them after a few weeks! They also really liked the stickers included and have plastered them all over their work water bottles (we operate by the “Hydrate or Dydrate” code), especially the black and white ones. I want to thank you again for all the help you’ve been over the past few weeks ...

The entire patrol was very pleased with the finished product and to be able to have our suits for our Memorial Day weekend open was above expectations. On behalf of the entire patrol, thank you for all your help and for being so accommodating! We look forward to working with you again!

Regarding Original Watermen products, in all candor and frankness these are my favorite pair of swim trunks. I own two pair. I have been involved with aquatics since 1996 and every organization used speedo products. It was not until 2010 when I saw the first original watermen catalog. I recommend your products to all people asking about swimming suits in the Aquatics industry. Nice advertisement is spearfishing magazine and swim swam magazine.

Service and product has been nothing but great to us! Thanks so much for all your help and service! You and your company rock!

Everything went great. We got the exact suits ordered and they came to us by the Saturday of the week I ordered. You always come through and get me the suits very quickly and I appreciate it. Thanks for making the guard suit ordering process quick and easy. I wish I could say the same about many of my other suppliers

The summer was fabulous on our end, both from an operation and program side to the staff side. Now that everyone has gotten used to the new, high-quality standard of your suits, I don’t think anyone will ever want to go back to what we have bought the last 4 years. The stickers that were sent with the suits and in the packaging were like gold to the lifeguards: they fought all summer over the “Stay Salty” fish to put on their water canisters, like having it posted proudly allowed them to pull some sort of rank.

Original Watermen is an incredible company with stellar products (my current and personal favorites are the Elasta-girl Stretch shorts and the Elite rashguard) , a commitment to loving all things water and also supporting a culture of water safety as well as a dedication to giving back to the community. These are shared values and the reasons why I reached out to Jeff and Original Watermen a few years ago to ask for support for an International Learn to Swim and Water Safety project that Kim Shults (Swim Kim of Face In Water) were developing. Fast forward 5 years Original Watermen has now helped to outfit our small teams of volunteer swim instructors and water safety ambassadors so that we could bring water safety education and swim lessons to children and adults in remote areas of Honduras and the Bahamian island of Eleuthera. We have truly "earned our salt" on these trips and are honored to have such a generous partner in Original Watermen. We hope to continue this work together in the future as we work to bring water safety, swimming competency and a love for being in and around the water to people around the globe. Thank you Original Watermen ...

I think I owe you a big “thank you” on behalf of our team members. Cannot tell you how much they appreciated the new suits that we purchased from you guys this year.

Now that the dust has settled for our season, I just want to thank you again for all your help to make our suits perfect. I absolutely loved them along with the parents, lifeguards, and other teams. I hope to have a continued partnership in the future! I also shared a bunch of photos on our Instagram and Facebook pages, but feel free to let me know if you need any more! Thank you again!
