Can you swim with estrogen patches?

I was REALLY looking forward to hitting the pool as soon as school's out for some stress relief.  Just occurred to me that I'll be covered in estrogen patches.   Can you swim with them, do you know?

    Ticker warning!

    Yes, swimming and bathing are fine. I took hot baths before my ET while wearing them and went swimming too and never had any fall off. You'll be fine!

    Yay! Just read I'm not supposed to have them on my waist, boobs, or in the sun. Not sure what's left! Guess I won't be hiding them under my suit...

    put it either on your ass, or on your pelvis.
