swimming?

Bedee

A health club here has a hot-springs-fed outdoor lap pool. Swimming there, particularly at night in the snow, is absolutely glorious and very, very peaceful.

But I have a question --

I still have a prothesis, foam, size DD. I think I'd drown trying to swim with that thing . Anybody aware of any inexpensive substitutes, just for swimming?

thanks

Hope this helps!
One of the main reasons that I had reconstruction is I love to swim. While waiting for my reconstructive surgeries years ago, I swam with something called a swimming prosthesis, which is basically foam with a small weight at the bottom. Regular foam floats up and the usual silicone sinks down in a swimsuit.

Today, they make a lighter silicone swimming prosthesis, which hopefully will not sink in your suit. I haven't tried one because I no longer need one since reconstruction.

I am going to attach a couple of links, but if you google "swimming breast prosthesis", many sites come up.

Bumped up a strand called "Swimming with Prosthesis"
Bedee, I've bumped up an older strand with various links for prostheses. Hope it helps. xoxoxo Lynn

Prosthesis for a Swim Suit
I purchase a lighter one for my swimming. I picked it up at the same place I buy my bras, prosthesis and etc. They have different types. It was covered by insurance too.

Best,
