Depending on where you are you could wear a pad until just before you go swimming, take a trip to the restroom and remove the pad and then start swimming. While you're swimming there should be no problem as you close up while submerged in water. Then after leaving the water just put the pad back in. The bather and the board shorts should work well though as long as they aren't lightly coloured.

Uh, no. You need to wear a tampon if you are going swimming, or you don't go swimming at all.
Not even board shorts or bathers will stop the blood from running down your leg when you step out of the water.

You cannot do this as you will leak blood all over when you are out of the water. Why don't you want to wear a tampon? It's not like you have to wear them all the time...............just use them for swimming and then use a pad the rest of the time. Tampons are much cleaner than pads anyway. You could try using a menstrual cup but not sure where you would find one on short notice.

No, most certainly not. The blood will just run all down your leg. Your choices are wear the tampon or don't go swimming. Nothing will hold it in and if you go in the water, then everyone will surely know you have your period when you get out of the water. Don't embarass yourself like that.

I'm not a fan of tampons but if you're planning on swimming, you definitely should wear one. If you're not use to them, start to wear them before Monday so you can get use to it. But either wear one, or don't get in the water!!

You have to wear a tampon or you shouldn't swim! You would leak all over! GROSS! So why don't you want to wear a tampon if you are small use lite/juniors tampons by tampax!
I hope this helps!

i understand you not wanting to use a tampon,
however, not wearing anything in a public pool where other people swim is really unsanitary. if i were you i would just wear a tampon or not swim, out of repect for the other swimmers.

I don't know what a "one piece bather" is (swimsuit?), but you shouldn't swim without a tampon.
