I use Tegaderm but make sure that it is pricked all over so that there is not a build up of sealed in humidity following a swim.
Basically the tegaderm keeps the sensor well secured in place. The initial instruction about up to 30 minutes in water seems to be over cautious. As others above have described I have had no problem swimming continuously for 45 minutes followed by a shower. Just go for it !
