Swimming in pool with pistol

[freddy]

Public swim pool. Leave pistol at home or in car? No way. Where to keep pistol while swimming? In backpack on chair, maybe, but can't take my eyes off it for fear some one will get to it. Get all stainless pistol and carry in bathing suit pocket? Water in barrel, cleaning chore - maybe an option. Ziplocs? Very unreliable. Instead here is what I did, put Ruger Lcp condition one in pocket holster (desantis super fly) then vacuum sealed, tiny snip at edge of bag to allow rapid opening. Entire day in water - no leaks. Told wife as I stood next to her in pool - total disbelief. She said I am crazy.

Who else has done this?

Alternative solutions?

Also, any small (glock 26 or less) water-safe pistols out there?

You mean besides the actual glock 26 (and 27, 42, 43, etc....) ?

They don't make maritime spring cups for the rain.

I had mine at the beach today allegedly. Kept it wrapped up in my towel and took it and an extra towel everywhere I went. Nobody steals towels.

Hi points are cheap af. Reliable,but dirt cheap compared to "name brands" that rip you off.

Look at Budsguns online,you'll shit yourself saying "whaaaat?!?, that cheap?? must be broken and defective" but actually it's a real company that makes them and sells them under a brand name..or two.

Where should the carry pistol be? Home in safe? Glove box?

 

[misunderestimated]

KEISTER IT ,
All kidding aside the are times to just leave your firearm in your truck or car lock box.

Maybe the answer is that the lifeguard should have an AR "just in case", so that everyone else doesnt have to worry about it ?

My rule of thumb is that if I dont need pants i probably dont need to have the gun on my person, a locker will do for that.... Where'd you get changed for swimming ?

Summertime Rule #1: NEVER, I repeat NEVER swim in a public pool.

You may as well swim in a public toilet.

And for the matter, I wouldn't swim with it. Fanny pack, or in the beach bag is fine. Where I go, nobody steals shit from anyone! Maybe your real question should be if the life choices you're making are correct... Lol!
