Is it good for ocean swimming?

in my opinion no it may ride up when extremely wet its more of a dry sport or workout compression shirt

Yes, it's perfect for that because your feet are touching a surface. I'm using it in the surf of Hawaii right now but it doesn't measure swimming kicks, just the steps.

I have not tried it in the ocean, but I bet it works! I LOVE mine. I read the respond of another user--and I agree that you need to rinse it well and dry it. Actually drying it well is a good idea-- regardless where you use it. Have fun with it.

Absolutely. I took it snorkeling and body surfing. I think it might be tough to paddle with this in one of your hands (there are mounts for your board, btw) but I'm sure it will handle surfing.

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!

We've used it in our saltwater pool and it seems fine so far. We have not used it in/near the ocean, though.

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

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

It is NOT a life saving apparatus. However, it does keep you afloat, but does not keep your head above water unless you moves arms and legs. It is meant for water arobics. I am not a swimmer, but use this for aerobics.

Yea, it works so great. I've used it at the beach and in the ocean and pool and it's perfect!

I bring this down to the pool almost everyday. It has worked wonderful for me. Even going underwater, it never has stopped playing. You shouldn't have any problem with it in the sea.

yes. I'm very happy with it. I don't wear it in the water, but it keeps everything dry in the boat between dives.

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. Great for swimmers - Fully water resistant making them the most effective exercise tools for measuring your heart rate while involved in water sports. http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/polar-t31c.html

Reasonably, and I would trust out for regular swimming. The circuitry is protected by rubber seal, but it really doesn't look all that secure.that said, one of mine gets dunked in a water bowl without problem.

In all honesty, no. I mean, it can give you a close approximation but you won't feel that joy of propulsion you have with swimming.
