We are back home and back in the non-routine of summer;
for the McDonald family that always includes swim team.
Micha's need of a new suit for swimming provided me another point of research which led to
B&B Aquatics in Kirkwood.
While shopping I actually met Barbara Archie, founder and owner of this store which has everything any swimmer could need, young or old, competitive or recreational.
This endeavor started in Barbara's home. She was busy raising 5 daughters who loved swimming and saw a need for high quality suits and accessories. It was a need she decided to address.
In 1980, the business had grown beyond what she could do at home and she opened a store in Kirkwood. Although the store has expanded to include the neighboring area, B&B Aquatics still occupies the original Kirkwood retail space. There is even a second retail space in Chesterfield.
Goggles and toys,
flip flops or mesh bags,
suits in basic black or vibrant tropicals
are to be found
in abundance.
And, as I've learned from Micha, there is a very real difference in swimwear and accessory quality.
The goggles from B&B actually work and the jammer (swim suit) lasts and lasts.
So whether you swim or someone you love swims, check out B & B Aquatics
And feel good knowing you've supported a local St. Louis business!
