No, a pad can't be worn during swimming.

A menstrual pad is an external product that works by absorbing menstrual flow as it leaves the vagina, in water menstrual flow could bypass the pad and the pad would be saturated with water so unable to absorb menstrual flow. When saturated pads would look bulky, and disposable pads could also come unstuck.

To swim during menstruation use internal products;

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

Menstrual cups are the best option as they're safer than tampons so can be worn for up to 12 hours without health risks, and unlike tampons are safe to use before your period is due or during light flow so more convenient. Menstrual cups are also a good option as they don't increase cramps as tampons can, don't absorb water, nothing shows externally, and don't leak like other options.
