If truth be told, I don't really think about closing off the site when I'm in the water - I guess I'm going to have to start now!<br />I always stick both the pump (when I go in the water) and meter ( not to mention my iPhone) in the cooler when I'm at the beach. I place them in a zip lock bag, then place said ziplock in a travel makeup bag and place in the cooler and everything works fine!k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-67504881617036902010-07-24T00:27:45.731-04:002010-07-24T00:27:45.731-04:00Addy wears Animas.

We did a pump pack around her waist and hardly gave it a second thought when she was playing on a sandy lakeshore last week...we even went boating that afternoon...she got on the raft AND dove into the lake for a swim :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977082081187891403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-70695395393835260472010-07-23T17:43:18.107-04:002010-07-23T17:43:18.107-04:00We go to the beach like once a year...so I'm n...We go to the beach like once a year...so I'm not a pro. But I would go with the baggie thing if you don't have a pump pack. I don't think sand on the pump is the end of the world, but better safe than sorry. I think I usually take them off though if they are in the wet sand, and in and out of the surf. Look to see what the basals are for the next three hours, add them together and bolus that amount before takin the pump off. Good luck! I wish I had some genius idea for you!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-55518463770082137902010-07-23T15:24:32.792-04:002010-07-23T15:24:32.792-04:00I don't have a whole lot of experience with th...I don't have a whole lot of experience with the beach yet. We have kinda put it off so far. <br /><br />Our cde told us to use a baggie when its not on and use the clip for the site to help with the sand. My plan is to try the unhook/bolus every hour thing and adjust from there. <br /><br />The waist pack may be a good idea... I might even stick it in a baggie before I put it in there. We need to make some form of waterproof packs or case(like they have for cameras so you can take them underwater)... we would make a fortune :)Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192247387107228743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-4514169079542820412010-07-23T12:25:02.724-04:002010-07-23T12:25:02.724-04:00My son is 5 and on an Animas Ping.

He keeps his pump in a waist pack and we have had no issues with it getting sandy but his inset site got so sandy we could not even disconnect and had to just pull it off and put in a new set. The clip helps but if sand gets in between, even that can get stuck. We found if we put a waterproof bandage over the set, that it kept the sand out but didn't make it very easy to disconnect/reconnect. <br />Good luck and have fun!!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490374648906561675noreply@blogger.com
