If the insertion site is completely dry and you cover it with band aid.

If it is dry and there is no swelling or redness it should be fine, but avoid keeping it submerged for prolonged periods. If you would like to provide extra protection, Tegederm is a clear, thin, occlusive dressing which stays in place well when wet.
