Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: June 23, 2026
Transparency matters to us. Swim Insider is reader-supported. We want you to be fully informed about how we sustain this site so you can continue to trust our advice and reviews.
How We Sustain Swim Insider
To keep Swim Insider running, provide high-quality testing, and maintain a free resource for the swimming community, we participate in several affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links to retailers on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Our Relationship with Amazon
Swim Insider is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Our Promise to You
Our commitment to you, our reader, is our absolute priority. Here is what this disclosure means for you:
- Independence: Our reviews, rankings, and recommendations are based solely on our testing, research, and expert experience. We do not accept payment from manufacturers to guarantee a positive review.
- Unbiased Advice: We only recommend products that we genuinely believe in. If we don’t think a piece of gear is worth your money, we won’t recommend it, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the seller.
- No Extra Cost: Using our affiliate links does not change the price you pay for the product. The commission is paid by the retailer as a thank you for referring the sale.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
The time and money required to source products, conduct professional in-pool testing, and maintain this website are significant. Affiliate commissions allow our team to keep doing what we love: finding the best gear so you can spend less time searching and more time swimming.
Thank you for your support. It helps us keep the content honest, helpful, and free for all swimmers.
