[QUOTE="jonohoff1988, post: 2749942, member: 586562"] Swimming laps with the Dexcom G6... please help I use the G6 and the Omni pod 5, I haven't tested it with the Omni pod, but the G6, which your supposed to wear for 10 days, I flat out cannot get to stand up to freestyle swimming laps. I do not want to go to the gym and dottle around for half an hour in the water. I want to go and swim a mile 6 days a week, and I cannot get the adhesive to tolerate it. Skin-Tac is the solution I've been advised with, and it just doesn't do it. Skin tac let's me swim maybe a casual mile before it's coming off. I need a solution that will let me swim 10 or 11 miles minimum on a 10+ day sensor. Wil someone please advise me on this? I'm pretty unstable as far as my sugar control, and swimming laps at the gym is perfect workout for me. being within 25 yards of sugar if I need it is awesome. I'm in Kansas City. What'd be the best is if someone is in my area and would meet with me one on one to discuss this issue and Apply a sensor for me to study how to do it perfect. I've tried Skin tac multiple times and just can't get more than a mile of laps out of it [/QUOTE]
