Arm cast cover recommendations

Our 8-year old has broken their ulna and is in a full arm cast (wrist to just below shoulder) so we want to get a waterproof cover.

With summer holidays looming, hoping to get something that will allow some gentle swimming.

Would love to hear if you've had one that worked really well? We had a Limbo cover for a previous broken leg. I've also seen Bloccs covers. Have you used either? Really grateful for any advice.

Limbo are the best ones. Just make sure you measure carefully for the sizes.

Limbo worked well but we only used it for bathing

Thank you! We've ordered a LimbO covering. Now need to figure out how to keep the kid entertained all summer!

Since I last posted by 9 year old has managed an arm break again so I’m in the same boat.

Oh no! Sympathy and solidarity. Hope it heals up quickly!
