GH Sports has manufactured swimwear for more than 30 years, building it for durability, longevity, and comfort. Through its TeamUp! program, swim teams, junior lifeguards, water polo teams, and community groups that place group orders receive 20 percent off GH suits and at least 10 percent off non-GH equipment, accessories, and apparel, and most items can be customized with team logos or designs. The company's history reaches back to founder Greg Hind, a Pan-Am Gold Medalist and three-time All American water polo player at San Jose State who competed at two U.S. Olympic Trials. He developed and patented the first water polo protective headgear, the G-H Ear Guard, between 1966 and 1969, and the company was selected as exclusive supplier of Water Polo Ear Guard at the Olympic games in 1972 and again in 1976. Later developments included the patented Compy Goggle, the Lap Display, hand paddles, the first water polo suit in 1977, a two-piece competition swimsuit for women in 1978, and the ST2 running tight in 1979.

The store sits on South Higuera Street, about a tenth of a mile from the road of the same name, a short distance from San Luis Obispo Creek and San Luis Creek Park, and roughly half a mile from the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board office.

Its long manufacturing record in competitive swimwear and its 4.90 rating reflect a San Luis Obispo shop that has equipped swimmers, runners, and triathletes for decades.
