It's okay, just change it when you get done swimming.

yes it is fine to go swimming in a lake while wearing a tampon, there is very little chance that the tampon will absorb the lake water as long as you have it inserted correctly. but if you are worried about it hen you get done swimming use a pad for a few hours to make sure. but it is safe to use a tampon immediately after if you want to.

If your flow is not too heavy you don't even need the tampon and you are going to be in the water not laying on the beach a lot. It is not like you are going swimming in a pool where the water never changes and is always stagnant.

Tampons are perfectly fine just make sure not to leave one in for more than 6 to 8 hours.

Might not be a good idea to be in open water while on your period. I don't know where you live, but out here we have alligators that don't really bother people but then, I don't know how many women swim while menstruating. I had heard on the news last year that a woman in Florida had been attacked by a shark while swimming in the ocean for that reason.....don't know if gators react the same but better safe than dinner...

Yes that's what is nice about tampons, you can wear them swimming. Has no effect, unless you wore a pad :)
