Absolutely! There are certain period products that work really well for swimming including tampons and menstrual cups. Usually, the water pressure decreases your flow while you are swimming, so wearing a tampon or menstrual cup will ensure that you are protected while in the water. Once you come out of the water, your flow will return to normal. A fun tip about swimming is that exercise may also help reduce menstrual cramps, so jump right in and have fun!
