The Lidocaine patch will float off your body and get sucked up in the pool's filtration system. Since these patches are pricey, you may want to time your swimming during the patch-off periods or remove the patch temporarily and replace it on the sheet of clear plastic to which it is attached when you first open it....bring the packaging with you. Skin has to be clean and dry...no chlorine or salty water residue either....before re-applying the patch again. You are not supposed to re-apply them, but it is possible...just be mindful of the "12 hours off and 12 hours on" rule. Some patients use medical tape to keep the patch securely on the skin after re-applying.
