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.

No. It is not waterproof for swimminmg. I think the manual says it explicitely.

Yes, as long as you are not swimming since it says to use water to wash it away.

Hi. Bought this for my husband and he uses it for snorkeling and sometimes swimming. He really likes it.

Hello MelonieyIf you can swim with it then mud cannot be a problem. I am using it for running and biking on gravel and paved roads and it works well.Arne

I don't think that would be a good idea. It doesn't have any protective covering or anything. They make some that are much more expensive for swimming. The buttons on this don't have any rubber around them to keep water from going in to the circuit board and battery. You could get it and wrap it or something.

If you can swim without a flotation device, you will have no problem with this unit keeping you above water. If you were not conscious, you would not sink, but it may not keep your face free of water. If you cannot swim you should not depend on an inflatable device

Don't swim in deep water. I imagine you would sink!!! You would have to be a pretty good swimmer just to manage the weight of the wet vest alone! If you are going to try it, I would recommend having someone responsible nearby for safty.

Yes and no. The tail doesn't help you swim or stay afloat and if you're a beginner swimmer it may even impede a novice swimmer. My daughter is a very good swimmer and can wear it in the pool but it doesn't help her swim.

Yes, you can as it is just for a cover. Do not use if you will do any swimming or sweating as it will run green

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!

Yes. It is not made to swim but things like drop in water/rain/splash is not going to harm it. It got washed in washer and battery got weak but still ok, next time I will open and dry it immediately lol.

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

It is water resistant, so you can run in the rain with it. However the owner's manual states that buttons should not be pushed when it is underwater. Other answers advise that this should not be used for swimming because water causes problems with GPS reception.

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.

Though I haven't tried going swimming or anything, I would say yes just from my experience in washing it off. I really need to scrub with a cloth to get it off with just water.

Sorry - it is not recommended for swimming. However, it has a way you can enter the style of swimming, the level of effort and the time spent and it will calculate the approximate calories burned. I did this while in Greece and had no problem. It is not recommended for the shower either.
