A few weeks ago at work, I had an open cut on my knee.
Unfortunately our health policy stuff doesn't allow that. I
normally would've just taped it up with duct tape, but
apperently at work I can't do that either. (something about
bad first aid) Anyway I taped it up with some nice sticky
medical
tape. 15 min of swimming and it fell off. So I put
some more one. It stayed for a while, but eventually all that
was left was one little strip.
What I want is some tape, with a small amount of adhesive
that gets sticky when wet. So the tape would be sticky when
it's dry or wet. Which would have solved my problem.

Sounds magic to me. Now if your idea was for duck tape band-aids... |
|

Waterproof bandages as shown in the link below might have helped keep you from bleeding in the pool and exposing other swimmers to your blood. Cyano-Acrylate super glue works well for mending the occasional minor gash, too. |
|
| |
I more or less wanted medical tape that was waterproof
to make a good dressing, I don't know if pre-sized
bandages would work as well. |

A pool, teaching swimming lessons. I like it because it's
the only job I know of where playing tag is deemed
appropriate. |
|
| |
duct (or gaffer) tape is always, always appropriate. In the pool, the house, the bedroom... etc. |
|
| |
Can't you use a hammer and nails to secure your bandage tightly in place? Pah, glue! What a wimp! |
|
| |
Hammer and nails are too brutal for me DrBob. I just use thumb tacks. ;) |
|
| |
Cyanoacrylate is brutal too. Anyone that recommends it has never tried it. That stuff burns a wound like nuclear fuel. |

Cauterise it i say. Where's that curling tong? |
