Swimming with an omnipod

[Jord]

Hi all

Has anyone found any waterproof coverings for a omnipod dash that worked whilst swimming

Have you tried Omnipod without a cover?
I use a different patch pump and have no problems when swimming.

The pods are waterproof, so no need for a cover. The manufacturer says:

The Pod has an IP28 rating for up to 7.6 metres for 60 minutes. The PDM is not waterproof.

I don't know if it is relevant, but there is an earlier discussion about waterproofing your devices here:

Also I'm happy to know that there are people other than me going swimming. I'm feeling like a bit of a single issue obsessive at the moment, constantly banging on about swimming.
