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.

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.

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.

No, it is only a swimming aid for children. It is not a life preserver. It helps kids work on their technique and gain comfort in the water.

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.

Yes, it is. I've showered with it without any issues. I do not swim with it, but I'm sure I could if I wanted to.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

No, it is not water resistant to the extent you can wear it while swimming or bathing. It will resist sweat and rainfall, but submerging it in water could ruin it.Personally, when I shower, I plug the device into my computer to charge and sync.

waterproof no, water resistant yes according to tje manufacturer . So, You may wash your hands but you can't swim wearing it. Honestly i usually remove before i wash my hands i don't want to get into trouble :). The good thing about it is very easy to wear and remov.

I have been wearing mine in the pool for close to a month now with no problems. I don't think you can dive in it, but it's ok for swimming. You definitely can wear it it the shower or bath too.
