i'm a marathon runner planning on getting into tris and therefore must get back into the pool. in the past, i associated swimming with rehab from my knee surgeries and am just starting to get interested in swimming as a sport.
how do you deal with menstration and racing/training?
up until now i have just skipped the pool that week, but that can't be the only answer....
sorry to be TMI but i really have no clue what competitive swimmers do and had to give in and finally ask
:)
i am up to being able to swim 20-30 minutes of freestyle consecutively and got a DVD to learn flip turns. i guess it is time to start working in some drills and speedwork as well ...
thanks for humoring a newbie!

It doesn't. There is no problem using them while swimming. Also, the water seems to stop the flow while you are in it. I know some of the HS girls do not use tampons, and where a light pad when out of the water, during meets.
