If you don't have to, don't. If you do, I would only trust Lifeproof cases for swimming with, but make sure that you check the rating on the one you get. They also make bags for phones, but I would check how well it works by putting some paper or something that you can easily see if it gets wet while using it for a day before you trust your phone to it.
