I do not know, never work with it when swimming, from the material, I believe it should work during surfing or swimming.

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

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.

I think it could get pretty wet and be fine. A commercial shows a guy surfing with it, and a YouTube review shows someone holding it under a running faucet. I wouldn't drop it in the swimming pool for a long period, but I'll bet it could withstand a quick dunking and be fine.

It's a nylon (parachute) type material so if you are just standing in a pool or whatever, it wouldn't be bad if it got a little wet. No pads, so it would dry quick, but I don't think it's necessarily made for it, so too much chlorine could be a problem if prolonged use in a pool.

I have used mine for swimming as it is water resistant to 50 meters. However, if the screen is wet the touch sensor that moves you between screens does not work without drying it off first. All in all, I've been satisfied with my purchase, though.

I wouldnt try. I couldnt get my camera to stay on it and ended up returning it. I doubt it would work better in the water

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

Hello, I swim laps with this often in the pool with head phones. It works perfect. I also swim for fun and listen to my music under water without head phones using it as underwater speaker, Works great too. I have also used in snorkeling in ocean as a underwater camera, and in my pool as an underwater camera. That was safe, I still get some blur in underwater photo's, but above water photos are great! I would be happy to answer any more questions.

I use mine for swimming laps occasionally and it is waterproof so far. I think the jarring from the fall into the water may be a problem, though.

Definitely no,! Designed for submerging in water. May not be safe. Consider another model.

We have only used ours in a pool. If there were few waves I suppose it would be ok however in rough waters I wouldn't advise it.

Works best with water. It isn't slippery without water and therefore isn't very fun if dry.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.
