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

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.

I use for lap swimming. You'll need to dork around with ear phones to find ones that work best with your ears. I'd like to try the wrap phones instead of the "dangle" wires just to see. Clips nicely to goggle strap. There is a period of trial and error, getting your playlist, volume adjusted-- but I'm 50- after a few on & offs in the pool I'm a pro and love it. I use it kayaking and while doing house work, walking. It's a great tool!

This product is perfect for that! I do deep water lP swimming in the pool and it allows you the movement and the flexibility to do what ever you want! Make sure you keep it tight around your waist, and always check that! I have two of them and I would think you will be happy with this product!

I honestly don't know. but I bought several types of these products because I do laps in the gym. they don't work very well don't work very well. so I returned them. however if you are using it for jogging or out of the pool activities, they are awesome. I hope this was helpful

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!

Hi TJ, I've worn it while swimming and it still works. Not deep sea diving or anything, just in a pool swimming in a sportive way. Also I've been wearing it in the shower for 9 months now. I do avoid pushing the button when in the water, no idea if that's necessary, but that's just what I've been doing. Hope that helps..

I would find a less bulky PFD. LIfe vests are vests for a reason. For one, when I've fallen out of a boat while rafting, I've been pulled back in by the in-boat person grabbing the shoulders of my vest, so they don't dislocate my shoulders. This would not do that. Also, if you go face first into the water, my guess is, this would hold your bottom up just as well as it would hold the top of your body up. You need something constructed to keep your head above water in turbulence and unpredictable environments. This is made for aerobics in a pool - a much different environment.

The heart rate monitor is attached to a strap that fits around your chest, right under your bra, and syncs with the Vivofit. I just wear it when I exercise. Although it bugged me a little when I first started wearing it, I usually forget I have it on now.

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

I phoned Timex and it's all waterproof (unless you press any buttons) but I forgot to ask them about chlorine effect. They did say the heart rate signal can't transmit to the watch while under water.When I wear it all day, I usually feel like my ribs got bruised, and I have it on it's loosest setting. I even took off the elastic, and just but the stiff part on my with sports tape (and it transmitted), but I still got that feeling. But I sit maybe 80% of the time I wear it so maybe that's a factor for the ribs pressing against something hard.

Good Day! If you wear it during exercise it will help to pull excess water and burn fat. I am a personal trainer and I use it myself and highly recc. it for all my clients. You have to wear it consistently however, as it is not a miracle worker :).

My grandson wears a regular t-shirt style bras guard shirt under this vest and has no problem with the shirt riding. It does not chafe him or irritate him at all. He loves to wear it and enjoys swimming with it. I hope this helps.

I bought this shirt for my dad who has a lot of arthritis in his lower back. He wears his 24/7 & says it helps him feel & move better. He ended up buying 2 more so he never goes without wearing it. Hope this helps answer your question

I haven't worn mine in the summer, but I think it would definitely be too hot. It's not like a regular underarmour shirt, it has a little extra insulation to keep you warm. If you're looking for a longsleeved workout shirt, I think Underarmour makes HeatGear that is specifically designed to be worn in warm weather.

I don't want to discourage you, but I don't think this is a very good idea. I find that the vest doesn't fit that snugly (at least on me) - it bounces and would probably chafe. But I've only tried with a T-shirt underneath. Maybe with another layer or two it might work, but then there's the heat factor. I've been walking briskly on a treadmill (along with doing pushups and pullups) with it and that's works nicely, but I think that running with it might be overly-ambitious. But I could be wrong.
