Speedo Womens HyperBoom Allover Medalist

Speedo Girls Bathers - Deteriorated within 3 months - inferior quality – Purchased size 12 Speedo bathers for my daughter for Christmas 2022. We purchased two pairs for her and one of these (the orange print ones) had deteriorated significantly. These were less than 3 months old. Unfortunately we had only noticed this at the school swim carnival mid races so we had no other option than to replace these immediately at the swim shop on site (and not cheap). The back of the bathers had lost all of its elasticity and became transparent. This took us by surprise given they were still fairly new. Obviously the bathers couldn’t withstand pool chorine as it should given the hefty price tag on their bathers. Steer clear, buy another brand. I think Speedo have failed with their product testing, compromised their brand with inferior fabrics and their customer service was resistant in replacing this despite my proof of purchase from Rebel Sport within 3 months.

On the positive for Rebel were excellent with their customer service, even though it was no fault of theirs this had occurred. I had explained to Rebel staff, Speedo were unwilling to replace these - not sure if that is in breach of a consumer law?

Speedo Australia’s 12 month warranty does not exist. They will shift the onus to the shop rather than honouring their warranty replacement promise.
