I would like to know what others feel,about swimming with a colostomy bag.  I have concerns that it could leak and that would be very embarrassing.  Your views would be much appreciated 

  • If anyone gets chance to listen to the podcast "the stoma swimmer".It is really good.

    Her whole story shows how you can turn your life round and having a stoma neednt stop you doing anything thst you want to do.

  • She certainly was an inspiration!!! I know what you mean about the shower. I swam every day on holiday but we had a villa and a private pool. I haven’t been to a public pool since l’ve had the stoma. I don’t think l could have a public shower afterwards. I think, when l go, l will just get dry and changed and have a shower when l get home x
