Can you swim with this?

This sleeve gave me (and many, many others) a bad rash where the upper retention band touched my skin. Still there after nearly a month. If you're not worried about the rash possibility then there's no reason it wouldn't stay on in the water--certainly you can wash it.

I believe you can swim with it on. There is a commercial with a former Olympic swimmer, that shows her coming out of a swimming pool, with one on. I have tried other support sleeves, but this is the best one I have ever used.

No, it is waterproof, but i wouldn't recommend swimming with it. It will probably slip off, the elasic band wears out after awhile. I had to keep pulling it up after a month of wearing.

I am sorry, but I do not know the answer to your question. I bought it for my daughter in Alaska and she has not used it when swimming.

Yes, you are able to swim as long as you don't go six or ten feet underwater.

I don't know. I tried to find out if I can wear it swimming, but googling did not provide answers. I would guess given its construction that it is not waterproof.

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

Sure. I swam laps in the pool with mine. Just be sure to rinse it well. The chlorine is hard on it.

Yes. I haven, t gone swimming with it but I shower with it on and have had no problems.

Duh, Well if you swim with it then it will get wet. If it gets wet you will have to let it dry so I guess yeah, you could but it will not stay dry while your swimming. You can buy products that gently wash suits and stuff with out damaging them. They get the clorine out. Just google it. Good luck !

I have. Not as in swim laps or vigorous swimming or exercising, more like splashed around with my son and played some pool basketball with my hubs. I was worried, but No issues! I even thought maybe it would fill with water, it did not.

Sorry - it is not recommended for swimming. However, it has a way you can enter the style of swimming, the level of effort and the time spent and it will calculate the approximate calories burned. I did this while in Greece and had no problem. It is not recommended for the shower either.

yes, but its not meant to be submerged. If youre looking for a GPS watch for swimming, you wont find one. All of my friends have different ones so ive got to borrow them. the best for swimming i tried was the Garmin Forerunner 610, but even that one and all the rest constantly lose signal with each stroke as it goes under water

I assume you can. The idea however is that hit water leads to cleaner results

Although I've never participated in a swimming triathlon I see no reason why you cannot. I'm a scuba diver. The suit helps insulate body heat as well as helps with aerodynamics while under water. It seems reasonable that it would be suitable for lake use. Hope this helps.

Yes and no. The tail doesn't help you swim or stay afloat and if you're a beginner swimmer it may even impede a novice swimmer. My daughter is a very good swimmer and can wear it in the pool but it doesn't help her swim.

Yes, you can attach it to your swimsuit. The ear buds are adjustable. Oh, and I also bought the second set of earphones they offer. It has a headband that I attach my iPod directly to and it holds the ear buds in better to keep out water.

Yes you can, but better don't. Basis does not recommend swimming with it because of the damage a dive can cause to the watch and band. If you don't dive swimming with it is apparently no problem.

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.
