    Hi Mich1972 welcome to the forum. I can only say to you that I go to a swimming  group with lots of ladies as part of a Macmillan Activity and they all have their costumes on and no one would know if they had had a Mastectomy or not.

    Fact is you are in the water and no one can see and when when you aren't it is not visible at all. So happy swimming and its also very good for your arm movement and the range you can get.   

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
