FAQ

About

ARE YOU FEMALE OWNED?

Yes! Our Founder and CEO is fashion designer, Leila Shams.

Fitting

WHAT SIZE SHOULD I BUY?

We recommend exploring our detailed size & fit guide available on each product page. Our suits are designed to fit true to size, with any exceptions clearly mentioned in the product description. If you find yourself between sizes, opting to size up ensures the perfect fit.

For help with fit once you have received your suit checkout this video for step-by-step instructions from our Founder. As always our dedicated team of fit experts are always here to provide additional support and guidance with sizing.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M A SHORT, REG/LONG OR XLONG?

To find your perfect length, we recommend measuring your torso and looking at our detailed size & fit guide available on any of our product pages. Here's how to measure: Using a soft measuring tape, measure from your shoulder (where a bra strap typically lands) to the inseam of your leg.

If you don't have a soft measuring tape, don't worry; we've also provided height parameters for your convenience:

  • Short 5'3 and below, with the exception for our Bra-sized suits, which cater to those 5'2 and below.
  • Regular/Long 5'4-5'11 
  • XLong 6'0 and taller

Our goal is to ensure you find the perfect fit for your unique body, and our size & fit guide is here to make that process seamless. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.

I HAVE AN EXTREMELY LONG TORSO, WILL THESE WORK FOR ME?

Yes! We recommend reviewing the size & fit guide on any of our product pages.

We currently only offer the XLong torso length option in a few styles - but will be expanding to more styles soon! Please subscribe to our emails to be notified of all NEW launches.

WHAT DO I DO IF THE STRINGS ARE TOO LONG?

This could indicate that the suit is too big. However, if you're content with the fit and planning to keep the suit, here's a chic fix: trim the ties to your desired length and secure them with a double knot. This is the same technique we use when sewing and will not damage the suit. Alternatively, you can embrace a trendy look by tying it around your waist like a belt.

Shipping & Orders

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?

We currently offer international shipping to Canada, Australia, and the UK. But here's the exciting part – we're expanding our global reach! Stay in the loop by signing up for our mailing list, and be the first to know as we add more countries in the coming weeks!

CAN I CHANGE MY ORDER ONCE IT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED?

CAN I HAVE MY ORDER REDIRECTED TO A DIFFERENT ADDRESS?

Once an order has shipped and is in transit, we will not be able to update your shipping address. If your suit is delivered to a valid address,  you may contact your local post office to see if they are able to redirect the package to you. Any orders sent to an invalid address will be sent back to our warehouse.

MY PACKAGE IS MISSING

FedEx is experiencing an increase in volume, resulting in longer than average shipping times. Free Ground shipping can take up to 7 business days depending on your location. If you do not receive your suit on or after the 7th business day please reach out to us immediately at hello@ta3swim.com so our team can get in touch with Fedex.

WHEN WILL I GET MY ORDER IF I CHOOSE FREE SHIPPING?

Your order will ship next business day via FedEx Ground from our California facility. The typical timeframe for ground shipping spans 2 - 7 business days,  depending on your specific location.

It's essential to be aware that the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) dates presented at checkout are estimations. It's crucial to note that these estimations are not guaranteed timelines.

Place your order before 12 PM PT, Monday through Friday, and it will be shipped on the same business day. For orders submitted after 12 PM PT, rest assured they will be processed and shipped out on the following business day. 

To accommodate tight timelines, we strongly recommend choosing the 2Day or Overnight shipping options.

We do not ship orders on weekends. Any orders placed after 12 PM PT on a Friday will be processed and shipped starting Monday!

CATCH PAYMENTS

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

1. Select Catch at checkout. You’ll be redirected to Catch to log in or create an account.

2. To create an account, you’ll need to provide your phone number, name and email and link a debit card or bank account. Catch uses Plaid and Teller to link your bank in seconds—you’ve probably done this before if you have Venmo, Robinhood, or have filed your taxes online.

3. If you already have a Catch account, just verify your phone number and pay.

IS CATCH FREE?

Yes! You’ll only earn money, never pay money.

HOW DOES THE SIGN UP BONUS WORK?

If it’s your first time using Catch, you’ll get an extra $10 in store credit towards your next purchase in addition to what TA3 is offering.

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON MY CATCH CREDITS?

Your TA3 credits can only be redeemed online at TA3 and must be used before they expire. To redeem, just pay with Catch again next time you’re shopping with us. 

You can’t earn or redeem credits on gift card purchases. Other than that, no restrictions!

HOW WILL I REDEEM MY CREDITS?

Your credits will automatically be applied when you shop with us again and pay with Catch. You can also manage your credits at any time by logging into your Catch account.

If you’d like to share the love, simply select “share as gift” in your Catch account to gift your credit to a friend so they can use it towards something special at TA3.

HOW DOES CATCH MAKE MONEY?

Unlike other payment methods who take a cut of every transaction, Catch charges TA3  only when it drives value to our business. In other words, we pay Catch a small fee if and when you return and redeem your Catch-earned store credit.
