SwimWays, a leading manufacturer of pool and outdoor recreational products, has been named a 2008 Walmart “Supplier of the Year.”  Of the thousands of suppliers that Walmart works with, only 13 received the 2008 “Supplier of the Year” award.


 “I am very proud of this accomplishment and the people who have worked so hard to earn the recognition,” said David Arias, president, SwimWays.  “We are committed to maintaining our level of service and providing all of our customers with high quality, innovative products.”


The award recognizes SwimWays' import operation, however, the coordination of production, testing, product quality, shipping and ICTI adherence is a combined effort between SwimWays in Virginia Beach and in Hong Kong, and SwimWays' primary factories.  


SwimWays supplies Walmart, the world's largest retailer, with recreational water products for all ages – from their signature Swim Steps™ System that helps children become comfortable with the water to their famous Spring Float® line, water lounges that unfold for simple relaxation.
