I cut my big toe today while swimming. There was a rough spot where the different color tile for the cross on the wall and the lighter tile meet. Somehow my toe hit just the wrong spot on a turn and I gashed a big chunk out of my toe. It was bleeding a lot so I was forced to end my workout. :mad:
Anyway, my question is what can I do to cover the toe so I can swim tomorrow? I don't want to reopen the wound, but I don't want to stay out of the water, either. I know anytime I've tried to swim with a Band-Aid it never makes it through an entire workout. Is there anything that will make it through a workout without falling off?

There are these little finger/toe "condoms." I know it sounds odd, but it's no joke. You'll have to go to a pharmacy and they will probably be with the first aid stuff, or the footcare stuff. First you clean, then antibiotic ointment, then bandage, and top it all off with the tiny "condom." hopefully, you can find them without having to ask, but it's really worth it. Keeps the wound good and dry. Good luck! ;)
