Should I have worries about infections from swimming?

[Karellan347]

I'm a bit of a beach bum and am about to begin a cycle of test prop (offseason athlete).

Is it going to be safe with me taking daily swims in Lake Michigan? I really am lucky enough to live in an area where it would be a shame if I couldn't.

I was thinking I should probably do injections at night after my daily swimming to give them a little time to close up/ heal more before the next day.

Suggestions (besides not swimming haha) ?

I do not think you will have a problem, especially if you wait overnight like you are planning. If you are really concerned you could always use some of the "liquid bandaid" type gels they have on the market now and put a drop over the injection site and let it dry before swimming. I like the spray on kind. Just my 2 cents worth, good luck bro, swimming is great excercise!

is the water dirty or something?

I live on the beach and swim everyday, stick or no stick. Not only that, even if I have a huge reef gash, I swim anyway. If I have a hole in my head, I swim.

there are absolutely no worries especially for an injection, your skin seals itself almost instantly...unless you're using like a 10gauge needle or something.
