Can this brace be worn in swimming pool?

Absolutely. I have a bad left knee and have been using this brace for swimming since 1996 when I hyperextended it getting on a rocking boat. My family doctor sent me to an orthopedic surgeon who said I would have to have the knee replaced in 6 months. I have seen so many knee replacements go bad at 69 years old I am not willing to take the chance. I replace mine every year because the wear and tear of taking them off they just get shabby looking. These are for not for 'frog' kicking, that is too much stress on the joint. I have a friend who is a proffesional swim coach an I am still swimming three days a week.

My brace is very tight and use it for gym workout and tai chi...so use it an hour at a time.it is too uncomfortable to wear it over ang period of time.

I'd say so, you might want to call the company itself and check. They are quite adjustable. In any event, Amazon is excellent about returns. These are hard to find in the stores, especially in my part of the world. If you are wearing a brace, then you might want to check with your doctor about how he wants matters.

It can be worn under pants. I find it easy to bend and walk around with. I have used a similar Ace brace that is much heavier and bulky. This one is lighter and after you have it on, you really don't notice that you are wearing it.

Yes ! I have water in my knee and the pain and joints are similar to LCL which Locks, Catches and Gives AwayI use this brace when I am out walking and in the house. You can also run with it on as well.

No Courtney it will not. Its only to prevent irritation from your brace. By wearing it under.

It was not designed to help with this condition. A light weight brace is a better solution.

Yes. I pulled out the inside cushioning in the shoe and put the brace in and reinserted the cushioning. I take the brace on and off with the shoes, always leaving them in the shoes I play volleyball in.

You would have to wear loose fitting pants. Under a pear of jeans it would be very obvious that you are wearing the brace and would not be very attractive.

No. As I understand it, the waterproof ones have been sent to an independent company for waterproofing. I have been wearing my in the pool and it has worked fine. I was told by Nike that the waterproofing invalidates the warranty. I found this out after I received and used mine.

I don't see why not. I play tennis with the brace and forget I am even wearing it (although it does get pretty warm in the summer). I also do a lot of running around on the tennis court with a lot of pretty fast starts and stops - I believe at least as much most anyone does on a basketball court. So, yes in my opinion no problem with the brace and a basketball court.

No, that would make if very uncomfortable. The way it is designed gives so much support. I sprained my ankle really bad and was able to wear this brace and still play soccer. I totally recommend it.

The GSI is probably water-resistant to a depth of several maters, so you likely wouldn't hurt it if you wore it while swimming as a watch. However, the heart rate monitor works on the basis of wireless transmission from the chest strap to the GSI. This is designed for transmission through air, not through water. I wouldn't risk it.

Yes, but you may find it uncomfortable. The brace has hard plastic on the sides. You may be able to pad it though. I have not tried it sleeping.

You probably COULD, but it wouldn't be a good serve. The brace is very supportive but really not good for using your range of motion - there's not a lot of "give" to it.
