Swimming in a pool, especially salt water or the sea, is highly recommended, as it helps to maintain stoma health. However, patients should minimize swimming in public pools, particularly those that are at risk of children defecating or urinating inside. Patients who swim in a public pool should ensure that the stoma is well rinsed when leaving the pool. Taking a bath with bathing salts is recommended from time to time, as this helps to treat muscle pain and prevent the accumulation of debris.
