Swimming with a PICC line?

Has anyone discovered a way to effectively waterproof a PICC line so you can swim and keep it dry? I’ve been out of the water for weeks and I’m going nuts not being able to swim. Still a few more weeks to go with IV infusions through the PICC. Dr. says stay out of the water....as Dr.s will say...

    Thanks for the quick responses. I was really just seeing if anyone had experience with waterproofing the PICC line. I'm already following medical advice to not swim, lift my arm above my head etc. I was looking to walk in the pool, even float on my back, something totally low key.
