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 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.

yes. I used it all summer outdoors while life guarding and it stays on in the water. It is very thick, so it takes a while to rub it in (because of the zinc).

Yes, if you can even get it to go under water. It's so effective it can be used as a floatation device

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 !

No but it is made of soft silicon so I would imagine sand would stick to it and get inside it which would be irritating. I don't think it would be a problem to swim with it in a pool.

No. It is not good for swimming. Even running it seems that the sweet enters the watch.

It is water resistant, so you can run in the rain with it. However the owner's manual states that buttons should not be pushed when it is underwater. Other answers advise that this should not be used for swimming because water causes problems with GPS reception.

I use this in the pool with no problem. Very watertight. The instructions will have you test the case and submerge in water so if your phone, and case, pass that test, you are good to go! I do not submerge mine, but I would not be afraid if it dropped in the water.

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.

Not sure I'd want to swim in it, but I read that some used it in watering troughs. Do you use chemicals in your pool? From researching, it is a bacteria that consumes the larvae not supposedly harmful to humans. Sorry not to be more help.

Yes you can. I leave the check cord on ours while boat riding. Just be careful that it does not get tangled in his legs. When have had no problems while swimming but we are on alert 100%. It is a thick cord but it floats and it is highly visible.

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.

No...you can't wear it while swimming. This particular model is not waterproof.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

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

I guess you could but, with kids using the pool, I would not. The floating dispenser is you best bet for safety caution. I hope this helps. :)
