text: does anyone know if its ok to go in the pool with my period ? wont the clorox or chlorine affect me?   swimming in the pool is fine, wear the tampon. make sure you keep the string hidden from embracing you. you will not produce enough blood to harm anyone, the chemicals will disinfect any leakage. also remember not to take and use a white towel, use a darker colored one to help conceal and leakage when drying off.   special note: when scuba diving if a lady is on her period sharks will not be drawn to them. blood expelled is dead not what sharks sense,
