Can I swim with the Versa?

[malistoun]

So I understand that the Versa is water resistant and not water proof, yet it is claimed that it is good for 50 metres of water pressure which leads one to believe that it's a lot more than shower or rain proof.  Furthermore, it has the ability to measure swimming activity.

So the big question is - can/should I swim with the Versa or not?  

If yes, then why is it described as water resistant and not water proof?

If no, then why say it is good for 50m and have the ability to measure swim activities?

Yes, you can swim with your versa.

I think the term "waterproof" is not used any more. Instead there are varying degrees of water resistance. The degree to which the versa is resistant means you can swim with it.

I swim in a pool with mine every day and even free dived to at least 15 ft with it on in the Ocean while vacationing in Hawaii.  It's water proof!
