I haven't used it during a race yet but I kept mine on for about three days, showered with it, etc.  It didn't budge.  I don't imagine it would've budged with pulling off a wetsuit either.  I had to work to get it off my skin.

i have used it in my two races so far with no issues.  one was wetsuit and one was not; never had any problem with it peeling off. 

i also used it for a month or so up to my first race with all OWS training with a wetsuit, again no issues.

I've used the "Pro" version of it during races and training and its held up well through the swims.

During training I've had it last up to a week.  The regular version lasts about 15 minutes in water before it starts to peel.

I've used it under a wetsuit and in the pool with no problems. I just use the one they sell at Wal-mart and it stays on for days.

I also use the KT Pro, just make sure you are using rubbing alcohol and shaving the area 1st. It will definately stay on better. You can watch some vids on YouTube to get a some great tutorials on exactly how to apply it. Also, I rub it good afterwards with the paper after I apply it. KT says it helps "cure" the adhesive better....fwiw.

I've been using it on my Achilles and it has mostly stayed on. but my application runs from the back of my calf to the sole of my foot. anything on the bottom of my feet peels off after a couple of minutes into a swim.

Rocktape makes a great product. They also have tape that is designed to hold up while swimming. Great stuff!

I have never used KT or Rock Tape but did see that RockTape has a deal on schwaggle.com.  2 days left to purchase this deal.

Another vote for Rocktape, it's great stuff!  Stays on much better than regular KT tape IME.
