Questions about the AT and water

I ususally use my 2254.50 for water activities but never used the AT for such.(and I'm tempted to)

How many of you have used your AT:

1) in the pool

2) In the sea (just swimming), not diving.

3) Is the clasp/pins secure for such activities?

Thanks for the input.

PS: I've read Omega's chart already and know about rinsing the watch afterwards with fresh water,etc.
Answer:
and swimming. But, when I went into the sea I would wear it on a NATO since you can't see the sea floor as well as a pool bottom should the watch had come off.

Answer:
I've worn mine serveral times in both pool and ocean (swimming, not diving) always on bracelet. Haven't had it come off yet. I like to live dangerously!

Answer:
for pool duty i see no problem. usually wear my seiko but once in a while i get caught without it and with my AT.

i couldn't see a problem with salt water either since you know about the rinse.

main thing imo is temp change. no sauna/whirlpool fallowed by a dive into a cool/cold pool. no baking in the hot sun and jumping into a cold lake either for me. my seiko diver is perfect for these testy activities. otherwise...i think the AT can do just about anything with respect to normal swimming.

Answer:
So i believe it would be no problems for the water. But i would definitely swap it over on to something like a NATO where i know it's secure... not much of a fan of the one button slider clasp...
