Can I use it while swimming

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

Yes. My daughter and I have been using them 2-4 times a week all summer and they work great. Makes the lap swimming go by much faster.

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

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.

No you can't, but honestly if you are buying this to go underwater or use it in the water i don't think you would want to risk your headphones or want to risk your phone.

No just personal preference. I use mine for working out was well so I am more selective and skip through music to specific songs. While swimming I just let it play. Depending on when and how you are going to use it, it's up to you.

Yes! I use it in water all the time. It gets some water in it some times but it doesn't affect it's use.

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.

I don't know about swimming but my mother wore hers during bathing and had no problems. I believe it would depend on the location of the patch. I believe you'd be okay if you put it on your upper back so it wasn't submerged for the total time swimming. I hope this helped.

No its not water resistant you can't get in the pool with it, but the sweat won't hurt it. The sweat is Okay it does not harm your device. Just can't submerge the unit in water.

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.

No, it is only a swimming aid for children. It is not a life preserver. It helps kids work on their technique and gain comfort in the water.

I've never tried while swimming but I would think it would be fine. The only time I lose it is when I'm doing push-ups or burpees.

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.

It is water resistant. It says to do not press button under water maintain residency, it does not say in the manual ok to use for lap swimming. Or h20 resistant at any depth of water. So I would not use it for lap swimming. Good question because originally I was given the impression that I could use it in the pool.
