Disappointed,
Date:September 12, 2012
By Frustrated5027
from Northern Indiana
from Northern Indiana
Pros: Blue color is very pleasing to the and matches water bottle color
Cons: Paper thin poor, workmanship and seams leak with no apparent cause.
"Have ordered from In the Swim for many years. Rating of 4 out of 5 stars is misleading as many reviews rate cover as poor...should have "listened to them". On my inground pool less than three weeks and seams are leaking with NO pressure being present from rain sitting on cover. Fear what this will be like in late Fall yet alone when Spring arrives. Do not buy this cover!"

Worst Performing Cover,
Date:July 13, 2011
By stldave
from St. Louis, Missouri
from St. Louis, Missouri
Pros: There are no pros. The cover is cheap and unreliable.
Cons: Thin as paper and brittle. You can tell it won't last.
"This cover is horrible. I'm not sure what happened with the quality, but I have ordered this cover in the past and was satisfied. But I ordered one in August 2009 and it only lasted two seasons. I returned a section under warranty and recieved another thin as paper cheap cover. I'm sure it will only last 2 years as well."

Great Warranty,

By Pittsburgh

from Pittsburgh, PA
Pros: Great Warranty from "In the Swim"
Cons: The cover wore at the water line after the 2nd season.
"Although the coner wore through after the 2nd season, I called "In the Swim" and they replaced it at no cost to me other than the $6.00 return shipment I paid to ship it back. I am very satisfied witht he cover and extremely satisfied with the service I recieved from "In the Swim". I have used them for various pool supplies for at least 10 years without a problem."

Pros: gromets every few feet
Cons: none
"Cover is everything I hoped it would be. previous cover purchased from another supplier had no grommets to tie down the cover. This one has grommets every four feet. Important feature for me. Cover was delivered to my door in six days."

Pros: easy to install and fit great
Cons: could have used one or two more bags
"the cover fit just like they said and was easier to install - wil be 100 percent satisfied if last the 15 years, but then again In The Swim has always been great about returns and warranties. We could have used a couple more bags they did not fit tight around like we like to keep all wind out."

Great cover, best one yet,

Pros: Don't flop in the wind like the other ones we had
Cons: more expensive
"Nice cover as it stretches over the sides to keep ALL the leaves out of the pool. The wind has always been our problem here in the country and so far it has worked out well for us. We will be able to tell more in the spring when we open it up."

worst purchase ever,
Date:August 15, 2008
By keli
from Acton, MA
from Acton, MA
Pros: kept snow and rain out
Cons: poor quality
"The seams and other areas of this 15 year cover were "de-laminating" upon installation. The cover material was stitched into the edge seam for about 6' . The dark royal blue faded to a very pale blue by the end of the winter. We are in the North East with minimal amount of sun during the winter, so I wonder how the cover would look where there was more sun. In order to claim any warranty, I needed to cut out a 6' x 6' section to show reason for return; I was delighted to cut that section out and return to In The Swim to show how poor the quality was."
