Hi, I used to love river float trips and did those after being a quad in the
1st 3 years---but after that time I got a supra-pubic and some said the river
water getting in there might cause an infection-----I am not sure, and my last
urologist had no idea on that subject. I have not been swimming or on float
trips in over 7 years, I sure miss that. I was thinking......... as often as i
get UTI's anyway's-- it may not hurt to try it.

I have a supra catheter and use my pool every summer (to float around
in since I can't do much swimming :-( ) and have never had to "plug the hole
well." I do keep my daily bandage and tape on it, but nothing special, and
then of course have to change it (the bandage) when I get out of the pool.
I've never had any problems with the catheter from being in the pool.
Hope that helps... happy swimming!

Subject: [QUAD-L] supra swimming
I've heard it's alright to go swimming with a supra tube as long
as you plug up the hole well and tape it off. Have any of you
guys gone swimming with a supra?
