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.

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.

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.

I don't know. I tried to find out if I can wear it swimming, but googling did not provide answers. I would guess given its construction that it is not waterproof.

Can you swim with the heart rate strap and the Vivofit. Most bluetooth devices can not transmit under water. This is the reason I am sending back the Polar Loop and H7 because I can't track my heart rate while swimming.

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

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.

Sorry - it is not recommended for swimming. However, it has a way you can enter the style of swimming, the level of effort and the time spent and it will calculate the approximate calories burned. I did this while in Greece and had no problem. It is not recommended for the shower either.

Sure. I swam laps in the pool with mine. Just be sure to rinse it well. The chlorine is hard on it.

no, it has weight to it which helps it travel thru the water. Child must be able to swim 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.

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've never used it IN the water (i.e., swimming), and given that it is an electronic gadget, I wouldn't think you would want to purposefully put your heart monitor under water. But I get pretty sweaty during my HIIT workouts and I don't think spilling a little water from your water bottle from time to time harms it.

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.

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

Haven't tried it but they said water resistant and washable. I highly doubt it. There aren't many in the market that let you swim and listen.
