Just wondering if any of you have nail extensions AND swim in salt water pools? I know your not suppose to get either of them wet, but has anyone been able to keep them on while training and which one have you had most success with?

Sorry, I have no info on the nails. I grow my own. Just wanted to say, "I love your tag line!

LOL - hmm, I never thought of growing my own - thanks!

And, thanks for noticing the tag line - food in my motivation.

I had ovelays on mine for awhile, but it wrecks your real nails.  My own nails (now that they've recovered) are as hard as rocks, so I just let them grow...but keep them trimmed during tri season...long nails + wetsuit = holes!!!

I have acrylic on my nails (powder that is gelled and then applied on top of my real nail) and have for 8 years. I swim in both saltwater and chlorinated pools and have had zero issues. I go for fill ins every 4 weeks.
