Swimming With An Ostomy
Next » « Previous15/20
Swimming is okay if the ostomy is sealed.
Each time before you go for a swim, test that your equipment sticks in water. One way to test your equipment is to get into a bathtub with your appliance submerged for at least 15 minutes. Wiggle and stretch to mimic swimming motions.
