You don't have to use tampons to swim while on your period. You can use menstrual cups and softcups for swimming, as well as safer than tampons cups can be worn with light flow which tampons can't, menstrual cups also don't leak like other options. You can also simply sit-out of swimming while you're on your period, it's up to you what you use and what you do on your period.

You have to go swimming but blood leaks out your tampon?
Use a menstrual cup - cups are internal like tampons but safer and more hygienic so have many advantages over tampons. Cups hold far more flow than even the most absorbent tampon and have light suction so don't leak like tampons, also cups are best for swimming as unlike tampons cups can be worn even with light flow, they don't absorb water, and nothing shows outside of your body.
Are tampons used for swimming only?
No, tampons are not just used for swimming.Tampons can be used any time during menstruation as long as the individual has heavy enough flow and doesn't have a vaginal infection, although they shouldn't be worn overnight while sleeping. For swimming tampons don't need to be used either, menstrual cups and softcups can be used instead.
Can you wear tampons in water?
Yes, you can wear a tampon when you go swimming on your period. You can also use other internal menstrual products like menstrual cups, softcups, diaphragms, soft tampons, and menstrual sponges. Remember however tampons cannot be worn with light flow, you can use cups for that.
How many tampons does it take to drain a pool?
Tampons aren't going to be used to drain a pool, obviously. Tampons are for managing menstrual flow, not for draining a swimming pool. If you were wanting to guess how many tampons would be needed, well that would depend on the pool size and the tampon absorbency!
Can Playtex Sport tampons be used in water?
Any brand of tampon can be used in the water, you can also use menstrual cups, menstrual sponges, softcups, or diaphragms in the water too. Cups are a far safer option than tampons and menstrual cups are best for swimming as you can wear them even with light flow and they don't leak like tampons. If you are going to use tampons just make sure to use correct absorbency and time it so that you can insert a fresh tampon before swimming.
While a tampon is in use while you are in a pool could you leak while swimming?
It is possible to leak when using tampons. Tampons can only hold so much, so if you are going to go swimming be sure to use correct absorbency for your flow - DO NOT use higher absorbency thinking it would give you better protection, this would just be uncomfortable and increase TSS risk. time it so that you can insert a fresh tampon just before going in the pool and you'll be fine. In future consider options like menstrual cups which are internal like tampons but better for swimming as they hold more and have light suction so don't leak like tampons, nothing shows outside your body, they can be worn with even light flow, they don't absorb water, and they don't increase cramps as tampons can.
How do you control period when going swimming without birth control or getting pregnant?
Tampons usually work, though if you are under the age acceptable for using tampons you can use a pad and a one-piece bathing suit. It works, I've tried it.
Are tampons only supposed to be worn in the water or do I have to wear pads?
Tampons can be worn anytime you have sufficient flow - except overnight while sleeping, or if you have a vaginal infection. You cannot wear pads for swimming as the blood won't flow down to the pad, the pad would be saturated with water so unable to absorb blood, plus the pad would come off.To swim on your period you can use tampons, soft tampons, menstrual sponges, menstrual cups, diaphragms, or softcups - menstrual cups are by far the best option, in general and for swimming.
