Get the “pro extreme” kt tape for swimming. The normal kind would probably be fine, but if you’re worried about it the pro extreme tape will not come off easily. Just be careful when taking it off because it can pull your skin a lot more than the normal stuff.

i used to swim on a team and i still get in the water from time to time, and i personally dont tape to swim often. i find it doesnt stick that well for lap swimming, the combination of chlorine or salt water and repetitive movements pulling at the tape tends to erode the adhesive within 10-15 minutes. if youre doing rec then it works fine, but id reccommend a rashguard to go over the tape if you do laps in case it starts rolling and peels off
