No, your period doesn't stop in water - this is a common myth. Menstruation can sometimes appear to stop in water because when light what little blood leaves your body is diluted by the water, but it doesn't stop and heavier flow will be noticed. If you want to go in the bath you can do so at any time, but if wanting to go in the water to swim you need to use internal menstrual products such as tampons, softcups, diaphragms, or menstrual cups.
