can you use them for swimming- I live in Hawaii and the beaches I go to are rough!

That's exactly what I use them for with tankini tops or even over a one-piece bathing suit (so that I don't have to worry about shaving or waxing).

I would think so. They are not thick and I think they would be comfortable.

I live in the Bahamas and I used this a lot for swimming last year and they held up very well.

I wore them wading briefly at the beach but I'm not sure how well they'd hold up if they got soaked in a pool.

Yes, but I usually wash them in the sink. They dry quickly. I walk on the beach a lot and the sand hardly sticks to them. Another plus is even if I wear them all day, they don't smell.

I don't know about rain-proof or water-proof, but I believe they are fairly sweat proof. I don't think you could swim with them on, but I haven't had any problems working out with them on, and I have in the past with a different pair of headphones. At the tip of the speaker, which is the farthest inserted into the ear, is a little white plastic 'cap' (shaped like an inverted cap) that after awhile can get clogged with earwax, but you can pop the cap out and clean it with a pin (it has little holes in it) and pop it back in. I've done this several times, and haven't lost either cap yet.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are an elastic cotton, which will absorb the water. Similar to a sweat band.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

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.

My wife had no issues with them in the dry. I would imagine they would deteriorate in the wet conditions as it states sweat can be an issue. And if you are considering the pool it would be worse due to the chlorine.

They might, but you might want to get the type that comes up over the ankle. I walked along the beach and in water up to my knees and got some sand in them. Not a lot, though.

I do not know, but I would guess that you can not because in the instruction booklet it says do not use in high temperatures and avoid getting them wet. You might need to order a more expensive pair than these to use them like you want.

Yes, you can get them wet but I don't know how much longer they would last or why you would wear them under water? I use them each summer on our deck with the family and they are the best. After use seal them in a plastic zip bag, and they are ready for the next day!

Yes, they are waterproof so you can throw them in a pool or bathtub. Have fun!!!

I don't have hard water, but I'm sure they would. I use them in cold water for cleaning everything, and for doing laundry. Maybe try a smaller package, and go from there.

I have not personally used them while swimming but they are rated as waterproof, so yes.

I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended.. It's not gonna seal ur ears completely.. Nothing's perfect. Just put them away and they dry themselves and ready to go again! Personally, I think it's a good pair of ear pieces for swimming out there.. Tried H2o, works great but feel very cheap and the sound quality is a major different! 1 tip, You need to find the perfect ear pieces and hooks for urself to have a good fit(the hooks breaks easily so be careful) I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended..

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)
