It might rust the steel support springs built into it, other than that I don't see why not. I wear mine for playing tennis.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

Yes it can! It is waterproof, to a certain extent. You can't submerge it in water but using it in the shower is fine! I love mine and have recommended it to friends!

It is water resistant, but I wouldn't recommend for a lot of swimming. Especially after a battery change

Yes, the alpha is water proff and will display your heart rate while swimming. However you should not press the buttons while in the water.

Yes. Great for swimmers - Fully water resistant making them the most effective exercise tools for measuring your heart rate while involved in water sports. http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/polar-t31c.html

I have used mine for swimming as it is water resistant to 50 meters. However, if the screen is wet the touch sensor that moves you between screens does not work without drying it off first. All in all, I've been satisfied with my purchase, though.

I do not know, never work with it when swimming, from the material, I believe it should work during surfing or swimming.

It will not come off during swimming unless oil or oily cream is applied to your face. Or, if it is rubbed or itched. You can touch it and pat dry. I swim a lot and it stays well.

No. It is not waterproof for swimminmg. I think the manual says it explicitely.

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.

You can use it while inside the case. I would just leave it on. Mine was a safety purchase. I didn't actively end up taking it into the water.

I took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.

TYes, swimmers can use the watch in the pool and sea but there are some care steps you need to complete specially when use it in the sea...

My dog went swimming in a creek for a few minutes with hers on (I forgot to take it off). It still worked fine afterwards, but I wouldn't recommend doing that!!
