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.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

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.

I only swim with this radio (back stroke, front crawl etc) and it has been my 'go to' radio for full immersion swimming therefore you should have no problem at all if you fall into the drink. I am very happy with this product and haven't had any problems with the radio being fully immersed in water.

sorry, never tried to swim w/it. It doesn't have a problem w/sweat, if that helps.

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.

My physician recommended this item after I broke my neck. I can swim w/o turning my head to breath. It does work well; however, swimming is not really my thing and I am not significantly enamored with the pool. Although I do plan to build strength and endurance in the pool, starting in the spring to prepare myself for whitewater kayaking.

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

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. :)

Yes you can swim with it but you can only listen to music underwater if you have waterproof headphones

Well I'm def not going to purposefully immerse it in water, but it has rubber O-rings (like on waterproof watches). It can definitely get wet, but I don't know about going swimming with it. High enough quality, it might just be able to.

it's labelled waterproof, so you can swim in them. but swimming with it on should shorten the bracelet's lifespan. so if you will be in the water for hours, you may need 2 new bracelets for the next day?

Hi. Bought this for my husband and he uses it for snorkeling and sometimes swimming. He really likes it.

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

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.

Yes you can, just make sure when you put it in the pool it doesn't sit on the bottom, take the brush and swish around
