I don’t see any specific discussions about wound water protection before swimming in this forum. This is an important topic though, so I can provide some general information:
For protecting wounds before swimming:
- Waterproof bandages/dressings are your best option - they create a barrier that keeps water out while allowing the wound to heal
- Liquid bandages can be effective for smaller cuts or scrapes
- Waterproof medical tape can be used to secure regular bandages
- Wait until wounds are fully healed before swimming when possible, especially in natural bodies of water
Remember that even with waterproof protection, extended exposure to water (especially chlorinated pools or salt water) can compromise the seal. It’s best to limit swimming time and change dressings immediately after swimming.
Would you like me to search for information on a different but related topic that might be discussed on this forum?
