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.

Yes, absolutely. I swim with it at least 3 days a week, picks up well in the water.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

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, but you have to turn the volume up loud. And, since it connects to goggles when you are swimming, you may look funny with goggles on land. Just joking, but seriously, it is a outstanding device for using while swimming.

I guess you could but, with kids using the pool, I would not. The floating dispenser is you best bet for safety caution. I hope this helps. :)

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.

I use this in the pool with no problem. Very watertight. The instructions will have you test the case and submerge in water so if your phone, and case, pass that test, you are good to go! I do not submerge mine, but I would not be afraid if it dropped in the water.

No...you can't wear it while swimming. This particular model is not waterproof.

Can you swim with the heart rate strap and the Vivofit. Most bluetooth devices can not transmit under water. This is the reason I am sending back the Polar Loop and H7 because I can't track my heart rate while swimming.

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.

Though I haven't tried going swimming or anything, I would say yes just from my experience in washing it off. I really need to scrub with a cloth to get it off with just water.

I don't see why not. Just make sure the three zip locks are well sealed and the edges are still good. I have used it in heavy rain with no problem but haven't tried to swim with it.

You can but, to be honest, it doesn't perform well in wet conditions... It works very well dry... Poorly wet or with gel...
