Could this be worn in a swimming pool for aerobics class as long as I wasn't submerged?-

I don't know if it's waterproof or not. It doesn't say it is but at the price, it would be worth a try even if you had to order another one.

No definitely not - It is not sealed or waterproofed. It would be OK I think in a rain, but a swimming pool would be out of the question. Besides the moisture issues, chlorine (and salt too) are very corrosive to electronics.

The GSI is probably water-resistant to a depth of several maters, so you likely wouldn't hurt it if you wore it while swimming as a watch. However, the heart rate monitor works on the basis of wireless transmission from the chest strap to the GSI. This is designed for transmission through air, not through water. I wouldn't risk it.

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 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.

I would say no. I bought it for water aerobics at the 'Y'. It's OK for that, but I wouldn't expect it to make me warm in very cold water. Hope that helps.

Absolutely! It's the one biggest reason I have one. I wear mine in the pool all the time, for water aerobics and jogging in the pool.

I would think so, I however, wear mine in a pool in water 9' or more, and it does keep me on top of the water.As far as bulky wear, I suppose it may be a bit less bulk around the waist only compared to a full life vest...I neverthought of wearing it while I kayak! Thanks for asking the question Marvin!

I've never tried while swimming but I would think it would be fine. The only time I lose it is when I'm doing push-ups or burpees.

It would be fine. The material is heavy weight and I wouldn't hesitate to put it in calm water!

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

I don't think I would wear them in a swimming pool but I have gotten mine pretty well soaked an they held up good.

Hyperwear is aware of some people using it in a pool, but we have not tested over time and would not cover that use under our one year limited warranty. After any use we recommend rinsing with water in a sink (weights can be left in). Then lay the vest on a towel and roll it up to wring the moisture out. Then hang it to dry.

It stays pretty secure on my knee if fitted properly even when I am pouring with sweat. I suggest you carefully consider the size you get to make sure it is right. As far as swimming I would assume it would stay still.

My only thought for water aerobics is that the earbuds I received almost require a strap from the goggles to work. The wires are too short to allow the Shuffle to be clipped to your suit, even if it's a ladies suit with shoulder straps. It MUST be clipped to the goggles or perhaps something clipped to your hair.

Hi TJ, I've worn it while swimming and it still works. Not deep sea diving or anything, just in a pool swimming in a sportive way. Also I've been wearing it in the shower for 9 months now. I do avoid pushing the button when in the water, no idea if that's necessary, but that's just what I've been doing. Hope that helps..

I don't know the depth range, as I use it for water aerobics and not underwater. The manufacturer should have that info. though.

No you can not wear in the pool because they are like tape, so if you get tape wet it will not stick
