Hi I would really like to start swimming soon and I was under the impression that some people can still get readings through the dexcom to the receiver/iPhone whilst in the water is this true does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

G5 connects over bluetooth so the range is relatively small, and water will disrupt the signal further so there's little likelihood of a signal transmitting whilst swimming. It will reconnect quickly once you're out of the water.
