Is it good for ocean swimming?

in my opinion no it may ride up when extremely wet its more of a dry sport or workout compression shirt

Absolutely! It's the one biggest reason I have one. I wear mine in the pool all the time, for water aerobics and jogging in the pool.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a very stable kayak, but when you have the element of waves, the likelihood that it will take on water increases. I would say to get a kayak that is made specifically for the ocean.

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

Yes, I use it to do deep water aerobics in the deep end. The floatation belt keeps you afloat when using the sytrofoam weights and gloves.

if you are in the water it will be fine, not for on land tho. it is like a thin wet suit

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.

It is NOT a life saving apparatus. However, it does keep you afloat, but does not keep your head above water unless you moves arms and legs. It is meant for water arobics. I am not a swimmer, but use this for aerobics.

Yes, this is perfect for open water swimming and/or swimming in a very cold pool. It has a lot of flexibility. Water doesn't enter the neck of mine, and I purchased it a size too big for easier on/off.

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.

Yes. I have swam in pools and the ocean and even gone in the hot tub without any issue.

Yes, I was swimming with it for hours at the beach. Just make sure all three seals are fastened tightly, they are like ziplocks. I crashed in the waves and not one drop of water.

I used mine right out of the box but have yet to go swimming with it. Not sure it's waterproof!

I swim in saline pool and have no problem. I soak in fresh water after each use, per instructions and no issues. Would imagine same would be for ocean swimming.

Yes, I use mine in the ocean all the time. I have two ocean kayaks and I rarely use them anymore. It's so much easier to transport the sevylor. I highly recommend buying the "skeg" when using the kayak in oceans and lakes. The skeg also helps in rivers, but the skeg can present problems with boulders, rocks, branches and debris in a river. The skeg helps to keep the kayak tracking in a straight line. The inflatable seats are pretty useless. I use small canvas folding stadium type chairs instead and secure them to the kayak with rope.

No. It is not good for swimming. Even running it seems that the sweet enters the watch.

Yes it offers good protection. I shoot a lot at the ocean and this protects from salty air and sand that may be blowing in the breeze.
