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.

It will not come off during swimming unless oil or oily cream is applied to your face. Or, if it is rubbed or itched. You can touch it and pat dry. I swim a lot and it stays well.

I have. Not as in swim laps or vigorous swimming or exercising, more like splashed around with my son and played some pool basketball with my hubs. I was worried, but No issues! I even thought maybe it would fill with water, it did not.

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 !

Yes, but you're not submerged. On those really hot, humid days, the little bit of water cools you off nicely. Also, I am the Queen of "floaties" & with all those I've had, this one doesn't lose air & remains inflated for more than just one day. I trust you'll love it.

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

Not sure I'd want to swim in it, but I read that some used it in watering troughs. Do you use chemicals in your pool? From researching, it is a bacteria that consumes the larvae not supposedly harmful to humans. Sorry not to be more help.

I've got mine wet a couple of times, Don't know if you can swim in it. It take quite a bit of abuse.

We do not know of any of our customers that have tried this. But in the name of science, we would like to send you a free swim cap to test this out for us and let us know the result for future reference. Please get back to us if you are interested in doing this.

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

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

I wouldn't if I could help it.. I don't think its rated for swimming. I've taken it on some pretty wet runs but never purposely submerged it. Doubt it would survive a Triathlon is that's what you're thinking.

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

Sure. I swam laps in the pool with mine. Just be sure to rinse it well. The chlorine is hard on it.

I've never used it IN the water (i.e., swimming), and given that it is an electronic gadget, I wouldn't think you would want to purposefully put your heart monitor under water. But I get pretty sweaty during my HIIT workouts and I don't think spilling a little water from your water bottle from time to time harms it.
