Keep it away from sea water and strong jets that might open the flaps

Hi, chlorine in swimming pools is not ideal.....some pools have more chlorine than others....have read of a few people using it in swimming pools but gently rinsing it in fresh tap water afterwards BUT as advised check with Sony if swimming pools is infact recommended :smileysmileywink:
