Hello Victor. Apart from the obvious thing - that it will get wet (which it does anyway when you wash it) I cannot see any reason why you should not wear the support band for swimming. However, as with most things to do with stomas, it is mostly about experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. Give it a go and see what happens.

Best wishes
