can it be used for swimming?

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.

Not really. Sure you can use it as such, but it is supposed to be just jacket. And it is not water resistant.

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.

Yes, it's perfect for that because your feet are touching a surface. I'm using it in the surf of Hawaii right now but it doesn't measure swimming kicks, just the steps.

Yes, this model is water resistant and I do use it for swimming, from time to time. You will find a good review and plenty of interesting comments about this watch here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/11/garmin-forerunner-depth-review.html

I read on the website that it is just water resistant. They suggest that you take it off for swimming.

I wouldn't bet on it. If you use it in water, put a plastic bag around the rings. There are rings you can buy that are water resistant. I would not take it swimming.

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

I took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.

I don't know. If it is a swimming pool, I would not use it. I would contact the company who makes it.

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.

I have not used it for swimming, however, they give you three different ear buds so you can correctlysize the ones you need in order for a secure fit underwater. I believe they can go 6.6 feet deep.

No, you can not swim with this. This thing fit nicely on my ears. You may need to change the ear piece rubber. It comes with two extra sizes.

Yes. It is not made to swim but things like drop in water/rain/splash is not going to harm it. It got washed in washer and battery got weak but still ok, next time I will open and dry it immediately lol.
