of course :) that in my opinion is the best time to use tampons.lol otherwise depending on your flow it would be a possible health hazard with all your blood flowing into the water where everyone is swimming...eww.lol anyway...just make sure you tuck the string into your bathing suit so its not dangling..

Definitely wear a tampon in the pool if you're on your period!!! DON'T wear a pad or go with nothing.
It's probably better to go with a high absorbancy one every time you go swimming, cos it's going to absorb some water from the pool as well. Also, a bathroom break or two might be in order so you can check on it and change it, just so you feel confident about being protected. Change it straight after you swim too. I used to do synchronised swimming (doing the splits in the air etc!!!) and it was fine wearing a tampon - but yeah, do make sure the string's tucked away!!

Yes you can wear tampons in the pool. Just change it when you are done swimming or every four hours, whichever comes first.

Yes, that's what you should be wearing when you swim during your period. The problem is with pads, they bloat up when they hit water and are uncomfortable. Tampons are fine to wear, water won't get to them, they won't fall out and it will be more safe and comfortable than any other option.

Yes. You have to, otherwise you will be bleeding in the pool. (Water does not stop a period, it olny washes the blood away).
Don't wear a pad. It will soak up water the minute you jump in and then won't be able to absorb any blood.
