Is it good for ocean swimming?

in my opinion no it may ride up when extremely wet its more of a dry sport or workout compression shirt

I used mine in the ocean and it did great! Although unless the water is super clear you won't be able to see anything.

The watch is waterproof, but I would not swim in the pool with this watch as it is not accurate to the degree of a short 25 meter pool. I would also not advise to using this watch in the ocean as it is not the most solid piece of equipment. It is chinese made.

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.

I used it while scuba diving and it was fine. Water will of course get in and it needs to be rinsed after use in salt water especially. Stability with a GoPro was fine under water. On land it might start to rotate after a while but if that happens you can slightly press the pole so it will become oval and then it won't rotate anymore. I recommend it.

Yes, I use mine in the ocean all the time. I have two ocean kayaks and I rarely use them anymore. It's so much easier to transport the sevylor. I highly recommend buying the "skeg" when using the kayak in oceans and lakes. The skeg also helps in rivers, but the skeg can present problems with boulders, rocks, branches and debris in a river. The skeg helps to keep the kayak tracking in a straight line. The inflatable seats are pretty useless. I use small canvas folding stadium type chairs instead and secure them to the kayak with rope.

I do not know, never work with it when swimming, from the material, I believe it should work during surfing or swimming.

In all honesty, no. I mean, it can give you a close approximation but you won't feel that joy of propulsion you have with swimming.

It is good for swimming horizontally. It is very comfortable, will stay in place (not ride up) when strapped tight. Sometimes after the strap gets wet, it will need to be tightened.

It is a wet suit not a dry suit so you will still get wet. I am not sure how flexible it is for "real" swimming. We used them to basically float around while snorkeling, for which they worked great and kept us warm.

Yes, this is perfect for open water swimming and/or swimming in a very cold pool. It has a lot of flexibility. Water doesn't enter the neck of mine, and I purchased it a size too big for easier on/off.

Yes. Great for swimmers - Fully water resistant making them the most effective exercise tools for measuring your heart rate while involved in water sports. http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/polar-t31c.html

Yes, I use it to do deep water aerobics in the deep end. The floatation belt keeps you afloat when using the sytrofoam weights and gloves.

I have used mine in the ocean, lakes and the pool, but I don't swim daily. It is certainly in great shape after a summer's use -- no fading or stretching that I notice.

Yeah I think it is comfortable for laps. Obviously it was designed for surfers but it has a nice tight fit and it comfortable so I'd bet it would be good for you

This is NOT a wet suit (or dry suit) jacket. When you first hit the water it makes you maybe a bit colder for a few seconds, but then helps you be warmer. What it does best is keeps your shoulders from being cold. I use it for Water Aerobics, where we are in 10' of 78-84 degree pool water with flotation belts (remember, ocean water feels warmer at lower temps than does fresh water). We are upright with our shoulders out of the water. Will it keep you warm in water below 76 or so? NO.

I've only snorkeled. It's great for snorkeling I don't know about deeper waters
