swimming with a colostomy bag

valentine4

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this? my father had surgery for bowel cancer earlier this summer he has a bag fitted and since that hasn't been swimming.

Its such a pity because he would not have the healthiest lifestyle however he loved swimming and went out to a local pool three times a week religiously for over 20 years. His life has changed dramatically with recent events, he has just started chemo I would love to be able to share some positive stories with him of people who can still swim and hopefully he can get back into it when he is a bit better.

any tips/ advice on good purchases or places to make purchases would be greatly appreciated,

regards,
valentine
