Mastectomy Swim Suits for Women of ALL Sizes.

Swimming Tips Post Surgery

The thought of getting out of the house and going swimming can seem a bit overwhelming after mastectomy surgery. For most women this is due to the thought of having to go out and purchase post surgery swimwear that will not only look good but fit properly.

The good news is that there have never been more options in mastectomy swim suits than there are today. Mastectomy bathing suits can be found to include; mastectomy swim suits with high necks and armholes to conceal any scarring; mastectomy bathing suits with built in bra pockets for securing breast forms (prostheses’ and swim forms); mastectomy bathing suits with skirts, figure smoothing panels and tankinis; bikinis and plus size mastectomy bathing suits. The following are some swimming tips for post surgery; do no more than twenty minutes of any stroke (dog paddle, backstroke, sidestroke); always warm up and cool down for approximately five minutes (in or out of the pool); don’t overheat yourself, drink water before and after swim (because your body has undergone considerable changes it is less adaptable to heat so be careful).

Equipped with good fitting mastectomy swim suits you will want to ease into your swimming routine by not over doing it (if your tired stop), and always check with your doctor first to see that it’s safe to start.
