Tampons are the ideal solution for active girls who play sports and especially swim, and even for other girls they are MUCH more comfortable than pads, they are cleaner than pads, and much more environmentally friendly than pads.
Tampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.
One way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself. Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about. This is something that is essential for any girl.
Get comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around. It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works. When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.
Next time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect. It is different, but it is not bad. Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice. Just keep trying until you get it right. When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.
Using a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment. You will have to pick for yourself.
Which ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

no a tampon isn't going to fall out once you put it in.
follow the directions,
When I first used tampons I accidentally put it in wrong and I knew it when I sat down, even worse it hurt when I had to take it out before it soaked up the blood.
Just be careful and don't stress about it .
It would be more embarrassing if you wore a pad and went swimming...or nothing at all.

It could fall out in water, but I don't think you can get hurt from it. It would be terribly uncomfortable if it not inserted all the way, you would know.

no you can not get hurt if the tampon isn't in far enough but you may have a leakage problem, and it shouldnt fall out either the muscles there hold it in place

It doesn't necessarily hurt but it can be uncomfortable if it's not inserted all the way.
