Casts and swimming with onehttps://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/5287/casts-and-swimming-with-oneSearched and couldn&#39;t find a reference to swimming while in a cast in the USMS fora. My daughter has a forearm cast covering her wrist which she got days before summer swim team practice started. She is really bummed, but we found a link here to the onlyen-USTelligent Community 12RE: Casts and swimming with onehttps://community.usms.org/thread/68395?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 24 May 2007 15:09:34 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:25f5a64e-6e47-476e-a60d-42b89e69c526Former MemberMark- My son broke his wrist a few years ago and we got a XeroSox. It worked great. The ortopaedist wouldn&#39;t do a water proof cast. said they just didn&#39;t work. Sounded silly, but so be it. The Xero Sox was a blessing.

Both times, I got the waterproof fiberglass. I&#39;d recommend getting that so you just plain don&#39;t have to worry if something leaks. They&#39;re a pain in the rear to dry (i used dryers in the locker room for ~10 minutes), they weigh you down, and you&#39;re going to need to tell your daughter to be careful about the shoulder, but in the end, I&#39;d rather swim slower or just work on legs than not be in the pool at all.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Casts and swimming with onehttps://community.usms.org/thread/68356?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 23 May 2007 07:03:11 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:29401d1d-3233-46d7-8e18-22326acf1363swim4meMy daughter broke her arm when she was 11. The last day of school. We put on a fiberglass cast, it went from wrist to elbow. I kind of liked it because I could always tell which one was her. I don&#39;t remember it effecting her times much and it was off in six weeks. It was not a problem for her or us. We knew she would need to swim when she broke it, so we told them she needed a cast she could swim in. Maybe you can get your daughter&#39;s cast changed?:fish2:<div style="clear:both;"></div>
