A:AnswerYes, This Garmin Watch Is Waterproof. I Take Mine Swimming All The Time. Only Downside Is That The Plastic Will Wear Out At The Charging Port And Break. Garmin Replaces The Watch For Free Up To A Year After Purchase. It Does Take Eight(8) Weeks For The Swap And You Pay The Return Shipping, So I Recommend Having A Spare Device If You Feel That This Device Is Needed Every Day For Activities.
