Can you go swimming with a g-tube?

Yes!

G-tubes really don't get infected. Any bacteria or other yucky stuff that gets in while swimming is killed by stomach acid.

A person with a g-tube can go in lakes, swimming pools, rivers, bathtubs.  With no problems.

You DO NOT need to cover the g-tube with anything.  (No gauze or plastic or mepilex or anything.)
