[QUOTE="Erin85, post: 1151143, member: 160454"] I know many have said they are fine swimming with it, but I'm a bit paranoid about it! I'm not worried about the internals of the sensor (I think it would take a lot more to become damaged), but more that it can feel like the water can seep in around the sticky sides and when doing movements in the water, can feel like it is trying to pull off (can be a bit uncomfortable). I did a bit more research after I commented the other day, and am awaiting a supply of Opsite and rock tape :) at yesterday's class, I used a waterproof plaster with medical tape round the sides and secured with a stretchy headband stretched round my arm twice. It didn't bother me at all, and I felt so much more comfortable about doing moves in the water (could probably have saved a fortune if I'd tried this first but I'm hoping the opsite/rock tape will mean no need for headband!). x x [/QUOTE]
