The Libre CGM sensor is water-resistant but not waterproof.
You can shower and sweat with the sensor on, but it is not recommended to swim or keep the sensor underwater for more than 30 minutes.
Swimming
You should not take the sensor deeper than 3 feet (1 meter). This may cause the device to malfunction. The sensor should not be exposed to salt/seawater.
Want to swim longer than 30 minutes?
No problem! You can cover the sensor with a large waterproof patch for times that you plan on being in the water longer than 30 minutes.
Please note that the Libre CGM can get damaged by salt water, therefore we suggest waiting to apply your Libre CGM until after you go to the beach.
We strongly suggest wearing the protective patch provided to ensure the sensor does not fall off or get damaged.
Here are some other places where you can wear your Libre CGM.
