Question: Can I Go Swimming During My Period?
Answer: Yes, you can swim during your period. You may have heard that it’s unsafe to swim while you’re menstruating, but that is just an old myth. As long as you feel OK, menstruation should never stop you from pursuing your regular activities, including swimming.
When swimming during your period, you should use a tampon to keep from bleeding through your bathing suit or clothes. If you’ve never worn a tampon, learn how to properly insert tampons and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
