Can you swim with this?

This sleeve gave me (and many, many others) a bad rash where the upper retention band touched my skin. Still there after nearly a month. If you're not worried about the rash possibility then there's no reason it wouldn't stay on in the water--certainly you can wash it.

I believe you can swim with it on. There is a commercial with a former Olympic swimmer, that shows her coming out of a swimming pool, with one on. I have tried other support sleeves, but this is the best one I have ever used.

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.

Yes, I swam with this in our pool and at the beach and snorkeling in the ocean. Just make sure the 3 zip locks are tightly sealed.

sorry, never tried to swim w/it. It doesn't have a problem w/sweat, if that helps.

Yes you can swim with it but you can only listen to music underwater if you have waterproof headphones

I didn't swim with it. Took it in the shower with me and brought it in the pool and took pix underwater. Only thing I would suggest is getting a self timer photo app. Screen doesn't work very well underwater.

My physician recommended this item after I broke my neck. I can swim w/o turning my head to breath. It does work well; however, swimming is not really my thing and I am not significantly enamored with the pool. Although I do plan to build strength and endurance in the pool, starting in the spring to prepare myself for whitewater kayaking.

I guess you could but, with kids using the pool, I would not. The floating dispenser is you best bet for safety caution. I hope this helps. :)

Its not. I took it in the shower with me and it still got wet. So I dont see how youre supposed to go underwater with it.

Duh, Well if you swim with it then it will get wet. If it gets wet you will have to let it dry so I guess yeah, you could but it will not stay dry while your swimming. You can buy products that gently wash suits and stuff with out damaging them. They get the clorine out. Just google it. Good luck !

no, it has weight to it which helps it travel thru the water. Child must be able to swim underwater.

It's pretty hard to actually swim with this belt on. I would say it's for vertical activity - water exercises, underwater walking and running... It just keeps you buoyant, like a life preserver, only better.

I do not swim with it but the material is good and I am sure you can swim with it no problem. Whether you need open patella or not really depends on what kind of support you need. I have both kinds but like this one better.

No you cannot, since it is like a chair. It was very comfortable floating around the pool watching all that was going on.

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

I would not buy it if your main excises is swimming! They don't recommend wearing it while swimming

It was a gift and the recipient has yet to swim with it, but that was a big selling point for me since it would be used in triathlon. According to all of the specs it is rated for water, I just wouldn't use it is you're a scuba diver.
