Answer #1

Actually, I think that you should ask the coach (woman?) even if it’s a man still ask him b/c they will probably just schedule you in for another day. I know that these people above me swear by there tampons but if God forbid something go wrong you will never live that down.

Answer #2

Of course you should tryout for swimteam!!! I’ve been in all sorts of bathing suits and leotards while on my period. Change your tampon right before the tryouts and you will be fine. Seriously! Do not worry about it or stress about it, just focus on swimming your best! Good luck! Peace :)

Answer #3

go for it… they have special tampons made for swimming also if you don’t want to spend the money on them I suggest O.B tampons they are super tiny and work really well. Anyways don’t let things like your period get in your way of what you want to do … good luck
