So it looks like my new swimming strategy may have worked! I started the day at 7.0mmol/L (12:50pm). I did the usual 45% basal and 45% bolus with a meal (in this case lunch). I was 11.4 an hour later, and 10.2 right before going into the pool. I swam for almost an hour, and as soon as I got back into the change room I did glucose (8.6) and corrected (at that point my pump called for a 0.5 unit bolus because I still had insulin from lunch in my system). About an hour later I was 10.2, and two hours later I was 9.0 - my glucose didn't go super high! Last time I went from 8.3 to 13.7 an hour later, so this is a huge improvement!
I'll be giving this another try next time. It's possible I need to use a bit more insulin before hand (or a bit more afterwards), but this has been my best recorded success while swimming and I don't want to mess with things yet. :)
