Best Answer

Yes, you can swim during your period if you use one of the following:

  • Tampons
  • Soft tampons
  • Menstrual sponges
  • Menstrual cups
  • Diaphragms
  • Softcups

Menstrual cups are the best option as they are safer than tampons, unlike tampons they don't leak and have nothing showing externally. You can go without internal options but only in your own pool or natural water as it's not okay to expect others to swim through your blood.

Another Answer

Yes, of course, and follow the advice, above. However, it is recommended that you not swim in open salt water during your period. Confine your swimming exercises to a closed pool.

How long do you have to wait after your periods ended before you can go swimming?

You can swim any time, even during your periods. Just make sure you have a large enough tampon in you before you go swimming, large enough that you won't have to change for several hours, especially if you are flowing heavy. But afterwards? You don't have to wait for a specific amount of time after having your periods to go swimming, as long as you are leaking too much to be all that noticeable in the pool, you should be just fine.
