ok you need to wear a bad in your bathing suit until 5 monutes before you are swimming. Your period stops in water but as soon as hte race is over run into the bathroom and put in a pad. While your racing think about the blood that could come out and that hsould make you race faster.

Tampons really aren't hard to use.
I couldn't insert them until I was 12, and now in my late teens/early 20s ()=] i can insert tampons absolutely brilliantly.
The way you should do it..
Have a mirror behind you (stand it on the toilet seat) or something. Bend down and look for your vaginal entrance (it might take a while). Look between your legs into the mirror behind you to find it. You'll have to open your vagina -sorry to be crude- lips to find it. When you've found it, Take a deep breath and put the tampon into the hole, and push it in. When it won't go any further, push the applicator into the vagina
When it stops, remove the applicator and stand up. The tampon is now inside you.
You shouldn't be able to feel a tampon inside of you. If you can feel it, you have most likely not inserted it correctly, or far enough. So take it out and insert a new one. Practise makes perfect!
When you've done that for a while (bending down with a mirror behind you,) then you will have confidence to insert the tampon standing up, so you will be able to use them at school or anywhere.
Try getting the slender tampons as this is easiest for you. And get the least absorbancy required for your needs or you could get ill from toxic shock syndrome (often referred to as TSS).
I hope I helped you. x

put your leg up on the toilette grap the tampon on the grips using you thumb and forefinger then guide the tampon into your vagina only about an inch then you can use your other hand to push on the end of the tampon to have it inserted.

either cry your eyes out, or learn to use a tampon. if u wanna keep your mom out of it, just go to the pharmacy and get the smallest tampons there are.

Calm down.
Did you follow all of the tampon directions? Try using one with a plastic applicator and maybe a slender model.

Ok....... can't you just go and watch the swim meet.
If you've tried and tried then there is nothing anyone can do. Some people can wear them and some can't and thats just the way it is.
