Binder and swimming

[bprot]

I'm going to an end of the school year party with a bunch of friends and we'll be swimming. I was wondering if swimming while wearing a binder will harm the binder itself. I have a half from gc2b.

Should be fine. Wash it out as soon as you can afterwards to get out any chlorine or sand, then let it air dry.

Thank you!

It will definitely be fine.  I swim in my GC2B all the time.  I don't even wash the thing out afterward (I'm as lazy as heck), and it's just fine.  I usually wash it long after it's dried, and it comes out of the laundry the same as before.  (I would wash it immediately if it was ocean water, because as a SCUBA diver I know how NASTY anything that's been in ocean water smells as it dries--thank you microscopic ocean creatures!)
