For those that are on the swim team...?!


Question: For those that are on the swim team!.!.!.!?
is it okay to miss a day or two every month when your period is pretty heavy and you don't feel comfortable with swimming using a tampon!? Its my first year joining the swim team and im a junior so I never used to swim during my periods or use tamponsWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes!.!. it is! A day or two will not mess up your training! But a week or two will!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Although Im a guy and I dont know much about that kind of thing, i give you this advice!. It is very bad for your swimming career (if you are swimming in competitions) to miss practice even for one day!. If you miss a practice, your time will be worse than it was before, and it would be as if you didnt practice for several days!. Also, I have many friends on the woman's swim team at my high school and they just deal with it!. None of them ever miss practice for their periods!. I'd say just start to deal with it!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i played waterpolo wich is an "in the pool the whole time" sport and my coach had low tolerance for skipping!. he said time and time again "i know this is awkward me telling you!.!.but please use tampons so you don't miss out on practice or games, it hurts the team's performance!." and when someone would miss because they were on their period and didn't use tampons or had cramps or something we would try to stick up for the girl in question but he would just be like "i expect you all to be committed"Www@Answer-Health@Com

for practices no !.but meets yes even if you only swim one event talk to your coach and tell her ya can i swim one event tell her your problem shell understand!.i also am on a swim team and i tell my coach hey i have my monthly visitor so im going to try to swim but could you only put me in 1 or2 events !?anyway hope this helps!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I am not on a swim team, but I used to take swimming lessons and we where allowed to miss a few days for that!.!.


"i expect you all to be committed" O wow, what a jerk!Www@Answer-Health@Com
