Swimming

Many people enjoy swimming and there is no reason why having a stoma should stop you from doing this, in either a pool or the sea.  

 Swimwear for women comes in a variety of styles, designs and colours. Choose one that is suitable for you. For men, the boxer short style has a higher elasticated waist and comes in a variety of styles, colours and designs.  

You may find that wearing a smaller version of your stoma bag is useful when swimming. If you plan to be in the water for a prolonged period of time you may want to apply additional adhesive tape around the flange/wafer for added security.
