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.

My children and I swam with ours. Adjusted the strap so I was comfortable with position where it would hang around my neck. No problems.

No...you can't wear it while swimming. This particular model is not waterproof.

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.

I assume you can. The idea however is that hit water leads to cleaner results

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

Yes, you are able to swim as long as you don't go six or ten feet underwater.

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.

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.

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 took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.

I guess you could but, with kids using the pool, I would not. The floating dispenser is you best bet for safety caution. I hope this 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.

Although I've never participated in a swimming triathlon I see no reason why you cannot. I'm a scuba diver. The suit helps insulate body heat as well as helps with aerodynamics while under water. It seems reasonable that it would be suitable for lake use. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
