Pools.. typically ok.. spa’s not so good
You could ask Dexcom for the over patch which makes pools much better and generally better all round
Spas will always be difficult the risk is more sweating under the adhesive rather than water ingress but a decent over patch may help

My issue with the dexcom in pools is that you can't force a reading, so if you come out to check then you have to wait up to 5 minutes for your phone to pick it up... (I've never got my phone to work while I'm swimming, but it may just be that it isn't close enough.)
