Can anyone recommend a good overpatch for the G7 please - something that would stand up to swimming?

Dexcom are providing over patches on all new deliveries, so give them a ring and see if they can send you some if you haven't already got them.
 
I use Hypafix any time I need to provide additional support for a sensor. It‘s not the most subtle, being fabric based, but I like that it is soft, durable, sticks well AND can be fairly easily unpeeled when needed.

I buy it on a roll and cut pieces off however large I need them 🙂
 
I use Tegaderm when I want a bit of extra stick on my sensor.
That lasts through swims.
 
Thanks for the replies 🙂
Do you think it matters if the sensor itself is covered? the G7 has a small hole in it which is apparently there to let moisture out
