Yes, of course. That story about sharks has been around forever! Growing up in southern CA, we surfed regularly, whether we were menstrating or not. Never saw or heard of anyone ever getting attacked during menstuation.

Yes you can swim in the ocan if you are using a tampon. It will not attract the sharks. It's a very old myth that has been handed down from one generation of women to another.

YES ! The sharks want fresh bloody meat and you don't fit the bill. Wear the tampon and swim like a fish.
Not to worry!

When swimming, the water pressure would prevent any discharge. Therefore, i doubt that it will attract the sharks. However, when you step out of the water, it might be unsightly..

your chances of a shark bite is very rare compared to being struck while crossing in a crosswalk

I personally is not happy to swim among . when someone has her period.You must respect the hygienic condition of others. In my view you are corrupting the water with out the knowledge of others.YOU must keep clean your surrounding to others.What I learn ,shark is very sensitive to blood, besides yours ie impure one, I think shark will be more attracted.
