Are these good for swimming laps? Do the pockets collect water and slow you down while swimming?

Air collectors. Not a lap swimmer myself but I do see pockets of air. The cord to tighten is also too short.

They are very good to swim in! These have turned into my everyday swim trunks whether I'm at the beach, the lake, or the pool. The pockets have mesh netting in them, so they do not hold any water that will slow you down. Caleb

Yes, they prevented any water from seeping into my ears, they have little ear buds that are like little suction cups, that prevent water from getting into your ear. One side of the headphones just stopped working, but I was using them as my reg headphones because they are so comfy!

Swimming might prove a tad difficult. They are flexible enough for that but it wouldn't be something I would do numerous laps in.

Yes, that's what I use them for. I do laps several times a week. Though I may have to modify my review. At this point, the glasses are not suctioning very well and I have to stop often to adjust them.

I have not swam with them in. However I did wear them in the shower to test the water resistance. Not a single drop of water got past the ear plugs. I think swimming with them in should block the water, just make sure the ear plugs seal properly. Hope this was helpful!

I would buy the covers just for swimming. These don't work very good. I just saw plastic covers by the swim stuff at Target.

These aren't absorbent like the Huggies or similar brand swim diapers, so pee will soak thru. But, they are better about catching poop. The swim school my child attends requires that kids wear two of this type swim diaper when he goes to his lessons. We haven't had any problems with this method.

Yes. The pockets don't lead anywhere. They are stationary, allowing one to just reach in and get the billiard balls or hockey pucks. The ease of this depends on the size of the hands retrieving the balls or pucks though, as the pockets are quite small.

You can use it for lap swimming but should note that the ribbing on teh edge of the sleeves and the legs is a bit tight...even with many uses, I found them tight.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

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.

Hi, I guess they are suitable for running. They come with various sizes of earplugs, and you can fix them around your ears. If they stay in place while swimming, I think they will stay in place while running, too.

I havent tried them in a pool, I have used to hiking and cross under little falls or quick immersions. I havent really use to swimming long distance, I have also used it to do ecuarobics it works.

Yes, they are waterproof for swimming. Not sure about the waterproofcase with the I5

No they are not. Kind of a bummer. If you want bigger pockets I think the sport has them but it didn't get great reviews.

I use mine for doing laps in the pool in the winter. Even though I am inside sometimes the pool is still a little on the cool side. Keeps me nice am warm. Also I bought the men's shirt because the sleeves are a little longer than the women's and fits a lot of better.

There really is not a lot of absorbent material on the sides of these, there is a sufficient amount of material in the front, back, and area between legs for heavy bladder leaks, but probably NOT enough for sleeping on your side, they are good for active people, walking and normal movement, or for wheelchair bound people as long as they are in sitting position, or laying on their back. Hope this helps.
