Ever swim in an Ace ankle bandage?

So I'm a dummy and now have a mild ankle sprain. Doing a super sprint on Sunday(only two mile run). So am debating ankle bandage or not. Mostly worried how it will do when wet and if I should bother with it or not. Any ankle wrap stories?

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

Yes, have swam in a bandage before. It was all one piece, so I dunno if yours is a wrap or not. Seemed to be fine. That said, I've never immediately biked/ run with it on.

A word of caution though: Even though its a 2 mile run, do you want to risk the run? Do you have other races this year that you want to do? I would think pretty hard about doing this one, just really consider if a super sprint is worth doing if you have a half IM coming up in a month--- I would say the risk is too great of making the ankle worse, but thats just me speaking from having had 2 similar/ worse ankle injuries... Only you can judge though...

It's a one piece. I'll probably do a brisk walk. My first half marathon is inOctober and I definitely have that as my priority. Thanks.
