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.

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.

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

We've had no problems hand washing the monitor and strap. But I'm not sure how well it would work or hold up during long term use swimming.

It is water resistant but cannot be used for swimming. The gps tracking does not work properly when swimming. I believe the more expensive model (550?) is suitable for swimming.

The FR 410 is not waterproof, so as far as swimming, I think you need to get a different watch. Works great for running, biking-- you can get the cadence sensor for a bike, GPS is good for both. Get the Garmin 910XTA great place for all the details on Garmin watches etc is http://www8.garmin.com/learningcenter/

Hi Felix, This specific model is not waterproof. It can't be used for swimming. -Anthony

Well I'm def not going to purposefully immerse it in water, but it has rubber O-rings (like on waterproof watches). It can definitely get wet, but I don't know about going swimming with it. High enough quality, it might just be able to.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

Good question!I've never had any problems with sweat causing any malfunction.I live in the tropics of Australia, hence I'm sweaty most of the time.So I would say the headphone is water proof.Hugh

I use mine for swimming laps occasionally and it is waterproof so far. I think the jarring from the fall into the water may be a problem, though.

This watch would probably not be best for lap swimming. It probably would not be accurate since it isn't set up that way. In terms of being waterproof, I would say its water resistant at best.

No. And don't wash your hands while wearing it, either. From their website FAQ: "The Withings Pulse is not meant to be worn while swimming and as it is not waterproof it is not meant to be worn while taking a shower either. When exercising, we recommend that you place your Withings Pulse into the provided Belt Clip to avoid direct contact with the sweat for a prolonged period of time...Please note that any physical or liquid damage will void the warranty." Mine went dead after about two months, and because I hadn't read the small print, I didn't know this. I wore it on my wrist for endurance running (lots of sweat) and didn't remove it when I washed my hands throughout the day (activity tracking). When it stopped working and I tried to get it replaced, they made sure I knew that they would be able to tell whether it was ever wet and if so my warranty would be voided.

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

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

Hi Tumang! The computer training is 100% waterproof. But in relation to G5 sensor, you need to put it in a impermeable sack and keep it with you, in your wetsuit, speedo or even under your swim cap.Good luck!

Per the user manual on water resistance: "WATCH * Your 30 meter water resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60psi * The Watch is only water resistant as long as the lens, pushbuttons, and case remain intact * Timex recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water WARNING: to maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water. SENSOR * Your 30 meter water resistant Personal Heart Rate Sensor withstands water pressure to 60psi. WARNING: This unit will not display your heart rate when operated under water." If you're going to do a LOT of pool aerobics I'd say there are probably better options out there simply because this watch is designed to be water resistant, not water PROOF and you'd hate to spring the cash just to accidentally press a button in the pool and scramble the whole works. I've not had a problem getting mine wet with sweat/rain but chlorine is substantially more damaging and I'd worry about the equipment.
