Tricks for going swimming w ur period?
Answer:
You can't go swimming without a tampon. Pads won't work and water does not stop a period. The rule is No tampons=no pool.
Can I Go Swimming When I Have My Period?
Yes you can! You should not wear a pad, however, because it will just soak up the water. If you do go swimming while on your period, you should wear a tampon. One word of warning: In recent years, girls and women have been advised not to swim in the ocean when they have their periods, because sharks can smell a drop of blood from miles away. (Scary, but true!)
Do You Stop Having Your Period When You’re Under Water?
No. Some girls do find that they bleed less when they are swimming, but others bleed normally when underwater. To protect your swimsuit (and prevent embarrassment), a tampon should be worn when you go swimming during your period.

One caveat is to be aware that sharks can smell minute amounts of blood though the jury is still out as to whether women who are menstruating are attacked more often...but why chance proving that theory wrong (or worse, right!)? The pool should be ok...unless you have sharkes in it!
you have to wear a tampon to swim...it is the only way...
I wouldn't go swimming while on your period w/ out a tampon, unless you're all alone in that pool! For other's sake, please wear a tampon.
like everyone else. you can only swim in it if you're wearing a tampon. but other then that because you're under water, the pressure will hold the blood inside of you even if you're not wearing a tampon [or bleed less], but when you come back out you bleed more because all the blood that was held inside from the pressure will come out IMMEDIATELY after [its like double the flow depending on how long and how you deep you've been in the pool]. so its better just not to go swimming while you're on your period.
Its called use a tampon or don't go swimming.
Your menstrual flow will go into the water and contaminate the pool, its very unsanitary and also humiliating when you get out of the water and you have blood running down your leg.
FYI the water does not "hold in" your menstrual flow at all, the blood gets dispersed into the water so it only looks like its stopped or being "held in".
