Swimming is not only an enjoyable activity &#8211; but also a full-body exercise, a great way to unwind and for some a part of daily living or routine. If you are using a CGM, it is important to learn and discuss the impact that being in the water may have on your device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will swim into every nook and cranny pun intended! CGM splash proof vs waterproof status, swimming and CGM effects, what to do in the water, and how to keep your device safe and reliable whether you&#8217;re doing laps, snorkeling or playing in the pool with the kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>About CGM Water Resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you dive in, it\u2019s important to consider how CGMs behave in water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water resistance in medical devices describes their ability to continue functioning when exposed to water. However it doesn&#8217;t mean it is waterproof. CGMs all have ratings based on the Ingress Protection (IP) Code, which is an international standard for classifying how devices are protected from water and other elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Typical Water Resistance Ratings for CGMs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most CGM devices will have at least some water protection. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>IP27: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Adjustment after dripping water falling and angled.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>IP28: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When submerged for longer time periods to a greater depth (up to 2.4 meters).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But again, even with a good rating, your CGM is still not going to be impenetrable. Never mind an hour in the pool, or swimming in salty ocean water, or deep diving with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can You Swim with Popular CGM Devices?

Check the Manufacturer\u2019s Instructions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read the manufacturer&#8217;s user guide for your CGM before you get in the water. CGMs vary widely in water resistance specs in both how deep they can go and how long they can do it. Some models are likely only meant for splash protection and short dips (in a pool) to as deep as a few meters for longer swims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying attention to these specifications will help to keep your CGM operating correctly and reduce the risk of water malfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Prepare Your Sensor Site<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepping your skin before putting on your CGM sensor matters, particularly with frequent swimming. Your skin must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before you apply the sensor so the adhesive will bond properly. You might also want to use waterproof overlays, medical tape, or barrier wipes to enhance adhesion and reduce the likelihood that the sensor will fall off while you are in the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Properly consider your placement option to help with wearability. Positions that receive less friction at the time of swimming or have less impact from the water are ideal\u2014like under a bathing suit or the back of your arm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Post-Swimming Care<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should use a fresh towel to gently pat dry the sensor and surrounding skin once you have exited the pool or ocean. Do not rub or pull at the sensor site. Check to see if the adhesive is lifting from the skin or if there is any skin irritation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially important after swimming in a pool or ocean water. Chlorine and salt may both compromise the adhesive and cause it to lift over time. If needed, reinforce the sensor adhesive with even more adhesive or tape to hold it in place and functioning correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Monitor Your Glucose Readings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many temporary factors that may affect glucose levels post-swim; such as level of exertion, temperature of the water, and more. It would be smart to monitor your CGM readings before, during, and after your swim (if the opportunity allows you to). If you are noticing irregular readings now and after an extended outing in water, you may want to confirm your reading through a finger-stick test and check that your CGM is calibrated to read (if applicable).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, you are responsible for your glucose readings and monitoring your device consistently allows you to ensure your device is helpful and experiencing less interference helps to keep you in optimal glucose control when swimming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Swimming While Using a CGM<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming is a low-impact, heart-healthy workout, and with a CGM bringing an extra level of safety, it\u2019s even better:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alerts in real-time to prevent hypoglycemia.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analyze patterns and adjust food taken or insulin given to you before and after workouts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent sugar drops in prolonged swimming sessions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased confidence to participate in meaningful water activity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Challenges People Face When Swimming with a CGM<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although today&#8217;s CGMs are much more swimmer-friendly than their predecessors, users report regularly encountering challenges, albeit these issues have been lessened!:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensor detachment, as with frequent or aggressive swimming.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin irritation: long-term adhesive and moisture retained in the adhesive can lead to a rash &amp; discomfort.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Device malfunction: this is rare but may occur if submersed beyond the IP rating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signal loss: Bluetooth signals fail to transmit well through water.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, with some good care and supplies, most of these challenges can be easily addressed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative Solutions for Water Activities<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are someone who swims on a regular basis, here are some suggestions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opt for implantable continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like Eversense to limit the number of wearables and improve peace of mind.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use waterproof covers or patches to cover your device.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the transmitter off (if your device allows for that to happen) before you go swimming.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discuss with your physician your level of engagement in water sports and possible alternatives for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQs: Swimming and Continuous Glucose Monitors<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. Can I dive with my CGM?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are rated for shallow water only. If you are diving deep, you may jeopardize the sensor or affect its performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Will chlorine ruin my CGM sensor?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chlorine generally affects the adhesive and not the sensor itself, especially if there is limited exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. How long can I swim with a CGM on?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, safe swimming is between 30 and 60 minutes. Check your device manufacturer for exposure time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. What if my CGM falls off while swimming?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make certain to pack backups &#8211; spare sensors and adhesive tape will go a long way to save the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Can sweat affect CGM performance during swimming?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be some loosening of the adhesive from sweating, however, it will not affect the accuracy of the sensor. Ensure that the sensor sticks very well when applying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion: Swim Confidently with Your CGM<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can wear a Continuous Glucose monitor while swimming \u2014 Most modern CGMs are designed as water-resistant and can handle being used in situations where they will be exposed to water.
