[QUOTE="Auckland Canary, post: 1462979, member: 70613"] Hi Everyone, I am thinking about getting myself a Libre and trialling it for a month or to see how I get on. I am doing a triathlon next month which includes a 1.5k swim which will take me somewhere between 40 and 50 minutes. Now I have done some research and also checked with the company and they say that I should not swim for longer than half and hour with the sensor. My question is has anyone done a swim of this length wearing one and are they just covering their backs (as many companies do with things like sell by dates etc) and have the sensors been OK afterwards? I suppose I can time it so the sensor is near the end of it's 2 week life span anyway so if it does break it won't matter but would be grateful if anyone else has experience of this type of thing? Cheers [/QUOTE]
