No. Your period can't actually STOP fully when you are in water... however, if you are swimming, because you are lying horizontally in the water, the blood will not pour out, i go swim training 6hrs a week, so i just wear a tampon just in case!

The water pressure helps hold the menstrual fluid inside your body, even though the lining is still shedding. Also, since most people are in a horizontal position when swimming, gravity isn't pulling the fluid downwards. However, as soon as you get out of the water, the menstrual fluid will again begin to exit the vagina, and you will have a problem. Therefore, it is best to wear a tampon or a menstrual cup when swimming.
No. It helps to wear a tampon if you're swimming and the water will just dilute the blood. It doesn't affect the blood flow at all.

It doesn't, this is a myth.

The uterus doesn't have water-seeking technology and there is nothing about water that can temporarily suspend the menstrual cycle. If flow is light then what little blood does come out of the vagina would be diluted in the water so not be noticed, however heavier flow would be noticeable and especially if there is uterine tissue.

No, your menstrual cycle doesn't stop when you go to the beach - your uterus doesn't take a holiday.

Menstrual cycle is your reproductive cycle, if you're a healthy fertile woman then your menstrual cycle continues all the time and it won't stop just because you go to the beach, there's nothing about going to the beach that could stop your menstrual cycle.

The best thing would to either tell your swimming teacher why you can't swim, or just don't swim at all

No, your period doesn't stop if you're getting in and out of water. Your period continues no matter where you are or what you're doing, the idea that it stops in water is a complete myth.

Can you shower with having your period?

If you have your period and you go in the shower.. your period will stop until you get out of the shower. I don't know why, but you can't have your period when you're in water. ** Your period can and will continue when you are in water! Taking a shower will not hurt you while you are on your period. True, it doesn't actually stop.. but for most young ladies, the flow doesnt come out in water. This does not mean that you should rely on water to stop your period.. if you ever go swimming, make sure to use a tampon.

Can a woman have menstrual bleeding while in water?

Yes, of course women can have menstrual bleeding while in the water - the uterus doesn't have water-seeking technology to know that it's in the water to stop bleeding. Thus why women use tampons, sponges, menstrual cups, and softcups to go swimming on their period.
