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 you can. I leave the check cord on ours while boat riding. Just be careful that it does not get tangled in his legs. When have had no problems while swimming but we are on alert 100%. It is a thick cord but it floats and it is highly visible.

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

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

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.

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.

I understand it is water resistant, so you can work out and shower with it, however, their website says to remove it before swimming. Hope that helps.

I do not swim with it but the material is good and I am sure you can swim with it no problem. Whether you need open patella or not really depends on what kind of support you need. I have both kinds but like this one better.

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.

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 you can, just make sure when you put it in the pool it doesn't sit on the bottom, take the brush and swish around

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.

I don't know. I tried to find out if I can wear it swimming, but googling did not provide answers. I would guess given its construction that it is not waterproof.

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

I don't know about swimming but my mother wore hers during bathing and had no problems. I believe it would depend on the location of the patch. I believe you'd be okay if you put it on your upper back so it wasn't submerged for the total time swimming. I hope this helped.

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.
