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've got mine wet a couple of times, Don't know if you can swim in it. It take quite a bit of abuse.

I am sorry, but I do not know the answer to your question. I bought it for my daughter in Alaska and she has not used it when swimming.

We do not know of any of our customers that have tried this. But in the name of science, we would like to send you a free swim cap to test this out for us and let us know the result for future reference. Please get back to us if you are interested in doing this.

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

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.

No, but it has an extra lining all the way through. Definitely designed for swimmers.

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.

I don't know about swimming but my mother wore hers during bathing and had no problems. I believe it would depend on the location of the patch. I believe you'd be okay if you put it on your upper back so it wasn't submerged for the total time swimming. I hope this helped.

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.

It was a gift and the recipient has yet to swim with it, but that was a big selling point for me since it would be used in triathlon. According to all of the specs it is rated for water, I just wouldn't use it is you're a scuba diver.

Duh, Well if you swim with it then it will get wet. If it gets wet you will have to let it dry so I guess yeah, you could but it will not stay dry while your swimming. You can buy products that gently wash suits and stuff with out damaging them. They get the clorine out. Just google it. Good luck !

Don't swim in deep water. I imagine you would sink!!! You would have to be a pretty good swimmer just to manage the weight of the wet vest alone! If you are going to try it, I would recommend having someone responsible nearby for safty.

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.

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

Yes, I swam with this in our pool and at the beach and snorkeling in the ocean. Just make sure the 3 zip locks are tightly sealed.
