We recently came across a PICC protector called DRYPRO. They claim that it is watertight because it is vacuum sealed (comes with a pump to pump air OUT). For swimming, bathing and showering. The website is www.DryCorp.com

We use the Shower Sleeve. http://www.showersleeve.com/  Works like a shower cap only made for an arm.  Patients love it.  Easy to use draw string on both ends.  Not Water-tight or water proof, but very effective and not as pricey.
