Water?

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi All,

I am completely new to all of this. I am extremely overweight and I have been giving my life a kick in the right direction over the last couple of years by walking lots. I have gone from 24stone 8lb to 18stone so far.

So I looked to challenge myself and have now started on a couch to 5K plan over 12 weeks with the Garmin coach on my VA 3 music.

The reason for posting is I have read different reviews on the VA 3 Music being waterproof or not. Some say it is and some say it isn't - the instructions state it is.

So my real question is - can I swim wearing this?

Thanks

The watch has a "pool swim" activity, so yes. there are some depth limits, deeper than you'll swim though, and you don't want to push the button under water. And if it's salt water, you'll want to rinse the watch when you're done.

Thanks - This is as I thought but there is another post on here or a comment saying not to wear whilst swimming - hence my confusion.

Cheers
