FAQ
How should I care for my swimsuits?
Rinse thoroughly in cold water after wear. Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent and lay flat to dry.
For full care instructions, view our Care Guide.
How should I try on my garments?
To help keep every RIOT piece in the best condition, we ask that swimwear is tried on over undergarments and away from lotions, oils, deodorants, perfumes, and self-tanning products.
Returns must be received unworn, unwashed, and with hygiene liners intact.
Returns showing signs of wear, staining, scents, damage, or missing hygiene liners may be sent back to the original shipping address.
What size should I order?
You can find our Size Guide on each product page or under Information at the bottom of the site.
If you need additional help with sizing or fit, feel free to reach out to our team at contactus@riotswim.com
Why do I need to authorize my payment for orders over $500?
To protect you from unauthorized charges, we require email confirmation for orders over $500. If we do not receive your confirmation promptly, shipping may be delayed. Just reply to our email to confirm your order.
Can I shop in my currency?
Yes-select your preferred currency from the menu at the top of the site.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Apple Pay, Afterpay, Shop Pay, and Klarna.
Will I be responsible for duties and taxes?
Yes. International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, import fees, carrier processing fees, and documentation required for customs clearance.These requirements are determined by the destination country’s customs authority and/or shipping carrier and are separate from the purchase price and shipping fees collected by RIOT.
Customers are responsible for completing all customs clearance requirements necessary for delivery of their order.
What is Checkout+?
Checkout+ is optional coverage that includes package protection and free returns on eligible orders. If your package is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit, Checkout+ helps cover it. It also includes free returns on eligible items.
If you choose not to add Checkout+, our regular return policy still applies. Carrier-related shipping issues will need to be handled directly with the carrier.
Final Sale items are still final sale with or without Checkout+. For Final Sale orders, Checkout+ only provides eligible package protection.
How can I track my order?
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking email.
If you haven't received a tracking email or need additional assistance, please contact our team at contactus@riotswim.com.
When can I expect my order to arrive?
In-stock orders that do not contain preorder items and are placed by 12 PM CST are typically processed and shipped the same business day. These orders placed after 12 PM CST, on weekends, or holidays will begin processing the following business day.
During new drops, sales, and other high-volume periods, processing may take slightly longer. If additional information is needed to process your order, our team will contact you.
For full shipping details, visit our Shipping & Handling page.
Can I make changes to my order?
Orders begin processing shortly after they’re placed, so changes or cancellations are often not possible once an order has been submitted.
If you reach out right away, we’ll always do our best to help, but changes are not guaranteed.
Please double-check all information at checkout, especially your shipping address. If a package is delivered to the address entered at checkout and that address was submitted incorrectly, RIOT is unable to offer a refund or replacement.
What is a preorder?
A preorder reserves your piece before it becomes available. Payment is collected in full when you place your order.
When will my preorder ship?
Please review the estimated shipping window on the product page before ordering. This is an estimate of when your preorder will ship, rather than when it will be delivered. If the timeline changes, we’ll email you with an update.
Will my in-stock items ship separately?
All items in an order containing a preorder will ship together once every item is available, including any in-stock pieces. If your preorder pieces have different shipping windows, the entire order will ship once the last piece is ready. We do not split orders containing preorder items into separate shipments.
How can I receive my in-stock pieces sooner?
Please place a separate order for in-stock items. Each order is subject to our standard shipping rates and free shipping requirements.
Can I return a preorder item?
Preorder items follow our standard return policy unless marked final sale. Any applicable return window begins upon delivery.
For full details, read our Preorder Policy.
What if my order arrives damaged or with a missing item?
If you purchased Checkout+ and your package arrives damaged or with a missing item, you can submit a claim through our Claims Portal.
If you did not add Checkout+ and your package arrives damaged or with a missing item, please email contactus@riotswim.com within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the issue, and our team will help determine the appropriate next steps as quickly as possible.
What is a customer account?
An account allows you to view orders, save payment methods, and store addresses. Create one at checkout or anytime at riotswim.com.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns for an exchange, store credit, or refund on eligible items returned within 14 days of delivery.
Choose store credit and receive a 10% bonus on your return value.
Orders placed with a promotional or discount code are also final sale, with two exceptions. Our welcome offer code follows the standard return policy, and influencer code orders are eligible for store credit only.

What if a promo code or gift card isn't working?

Are promo codes transferable or reusable?
No. Promo codes are one-time use only and must be applied at checkout. They cannot be transferred or retroactively applied.

How does the free gift offer work?
From October 30, 2026 at 9 a.m. ET through November 2, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET, spend $125 or more on merchandise to choose an eligible Final Chance gift. At $175 or more, unlock additional choices. One gift total per order, while supplies last. Choose an available style and size in the gift selection and tap Add Gift before checkout. No code is needed, and discount codes cannot be combined with the offer.
Minimum spend excludes the gift, shipping, taxes and package protection. If a return makes your order ineligible for the selected gift, return the gift too. If you keep it, its selling price at the time of your order, before the free gift discount, will be deducted from your refund. Our team will confirm the deduction before processing your return.
