can you use them for swimming- I live in Hawaii and the beaches I go to are rough!

That's exactly what I use them for with tankini tops or even over a one-piece bathing suit (so that I don't have to worry about shaving or waxing).

I would think so. They are not thick and I think they would be comfortable.

I live in the Bahamas and I used this a lot for swimming last year and they held up very well.

I have not personally used them while swimming but they are rated as waterproof, so yes.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are an elastic cotton, which will absorb the water. Similar to a sweat band.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

They are very good to swim in! These have turned into my everyday swim trunks whether I'm at the beach, the lake, or the pool. The pockets have mesh netting in them, so they do not hold any water that will slow you down. Caleb

My husband and I wear ours daily in our pool. If we "should" I can't answer. However, I will say they do fine with our water exposure.

I used them for snorkeling in Hawaii They work but not well If you don't want to hassle with packing fins they will do in a pinch but if you are going out more than once I would opt for regular dive fins

Yes, they are waterproof so you can throw them in a pool or bathtub. Have fun!!!

Do not use them IN a pool. If you use them NEAR a pool it's ok if they get splashed occasionally and wiped off, but it is not good to submerge them underwater.

I don't actually use them for swimming. I use them when I mow. Are you sure your your plug is pushed all the way into the iPod and did you try putting Vaseline on the ear pieces the way it was suggested to create an air tight seal? Mine work great when mowing.

I guess so. But if you soak them in water often, I'm not sure. Walk them at the beach? I'd say be careful with your knees.

no - go check out x-1 waterproof headphones - much cheaper and waterproof ( I swim a lot with them)

Yes, you can get them wet but I don't know how much longer they would last or why you would wear them under water? I use them each summer on our deck with the family and they are the best. After use seal them in a plastic zip bag, and they are ready for the next day!

Yes, I'm sure they would be okay in water. They are elastic bands with a plastic button.

I wore them wading briefly at the beach but I'm not sure how well they'd hold up if they got soaked in a pool.

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...
