Swimming with a port

Hi Bonnie. If you are currently having chemo and are immunocompromised, you could be at risk of catching a virus from someone in a changing room, same as in any space. But your port is sealed so can’t be contaminated. I have always used swimming pools with mine.

Hi Bonnie 

I’ve still got my port but i finished my chemo in March. I do anything with it. - I’ve been swimming in the sea

Good luck x

My oncologist gave me the all clear to swim after I had recovered from my radiotherapy, I had a fully healed port in my arm at the time.   I had it removed in August and wasn't allowed to swim for 3 weeks.
