I bought this for my son but in an adult size I think it would be very comfortable to swim laps in. Rash guards are great for that .

Yeah I think it is comfortable for laps. Obviously it was designed for surfers but it has a nice tight fit and it comfortable so I'd bet it would be good for you

Yes, you can wear it while exercising but it may not be very comfortable after a half hour or more and you will want to be careful that it stays in place and doesn't go flying off since it is not designed for such. It takes constant readings -- showing your heart rate as well as your oxygen/blood saturation level.

I swim laps 2-3 times and week an tho bathing suit is the only one I have, it's very chlorine resistant! Now with that being said you should never wash your suit in the washing machine an always hang to dry. I never ring mine out either. Hope this helps!Lovin mineCheers

No. It comes with a strap you wear around your chest. It's comfortable, and can be worn under your shirt.

I have this swimsuit and use it for water walking and laps. I don't find it scratchy or irritating at all. It's very comfortable, and I'm happy with it.

I would think so, I however, wear mine in a pool in water 9' or more, and it does keep me on top of the water.As far as bulky wear, I suppose it may be a bit less bulk around the waist only compared to a full life vest...I neverthought of wearing it while I kayak! Thanks for asking the question Marvin!

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

It is quite comfortable. I wear it under the band of my sportsbra. I've used it for HIIT and yoga and have had no issues.

I find that the heart rate monitor works quite well. Sometimes it takes a little longer than normal because of it changing while I am working out, etc.And sometimes if I am super sweaty I have to wipe some sweat off first for it to work.

I have not tried my heart monitor in the pool yet but I asked my trainer about its use and she assured me that it is ok to use in the swimming pool. Perhaps not resistant enough for deeper scuba or snorkling dives.

I use the rash guard to keep warm while doing aqua arobics. The water is supposed to be warm, but it is usually cold. Once out of the water I take it off because it does get cold then.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable.A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

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.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

I have not tried this with swimming, I don't think it was meant to do that. I have used it to exercise - and it did get wet with sweat and still works, no issues
