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, but you have to turn the volume up loud. And, since it connects to goggles when you are swimming, you may look funny with goggles on land. Just joking, but seriously, it is a outstanding device for using while swimming.

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

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

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.

yes, but its not meant to be submerged. If youre looking for a GPS watch for swimming, you wont find one. All of my friends have different ones so ive got to borrow them. the best for swimming i tried was the Garmin Forerunner 610, but even that one and all the rest constantly lose signal with each stroke as it goes under water

Hi Irma, Do NOT swim or shower with your body bugg....sweat does not harm it, but immersing it will.

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.

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

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.

No, but it has an extra lining all the way through. Definitely designed for swimmers.

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.

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.

Don't swim in deep water. I imagine you would sink!!! You would have to be a pretty good swimmer just to manage the weight of the wet vest alone! If you are going to try it, I would recommend having someone responsible nearby for safty.

Its not. I took it in the shower with me and it still got wet. So I dont see how youre supposed to go underwater with it.

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.
