Yesterday I took my kids to Dorney park and Wildwater Kingdom, we decided to do all the water stuff first, I took off my pump and put it in locker while we did water slides and wave pools, checked my sugar and it was fine, so we went on our way. When it was time for lunch I went to reconnect to pump and my infusion set was no longer there, it washed right off, luckily it was still in my bathing suit, just not where I put it, but not floating somewhere in the pool, YUCK, could you imagine if that happened, I am so glad I brought an insulin pen, we did lots of walking so I did not worry about my basal rate. I just bolused when I ate, still ahd a few near lows, I think due to all the walking, so I didnt get hooked back up untill 1130 at night, 10 hour with no pump and I did pretty good, I am just glad I brought the pen, otherwise we would have had to leave, they would NOT have been happy . Well, thats my pump blunder story, please share if you have one.

I use the OmniPod, and only have had one fall off in the water. They do advise you get out every 30 minutes and check to make sure the adhesive is still on. We can wear our pod in the water....so no disconnect....no tubing to get caught on anything.
