Swimming with the Band

I'd like to see what definitively the rating means. If it actually means "static pressure".

I'd be very surprised if it didn't. Static is easy to test. Just have a tub of water and a clock. Dynamic would add an ream of paper to the standard. What kind of motion? How fast? How often? Now you'd need some kind of robot to do that.

If a board will hold 200 lbs and you weigh 180, would you do jumping jacks on it? I wouldn't. Likewise with swimming, you've got fluid flow, turbulence and things like that going on. Plus, on the bottom of your stroke, the Band will be half a meter underwater. There just isn't enough safety margin from the static test for everything going on.

OTOH, if you have one of those watches that were rated for 666 feet - I think you'd drown before the watch did.
