Pump and swimming

[Jess Alway]

If you have a waterproof pump where do you put it when swimming? I'm thinking of getting one, sorry for my ignorance

You don't put it on, most the time it gets unhooked, Then you'd put the other cap thing you get on ( which stops any germs basically getting to your patch ) Then you'd just put it back on an hour later or however long you spend swimming

Oh right, it's just I have read that some people have waterproof ones and they actually keep it on, maybe they have a strap on their thigh or something ?

No the animas Vibe is water proof and there are many ways of keeping it in place. I dont swim so cant help too much. @Julie1471 @iHs @Riri @donnellysdogs anyone able to help? I think most if not all of you are pumping (sorry if I'm wrong!) I would prob go for a waist belt ist a small pump case on a velcro strap around your waist under your costume or on top maybe?
