[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old is a competitive swimmer and is terrified of her period arriving at practice or a meet. I asked her if in her many years or practices and meets if she had seen any obvious signs of someone menstruating in the pool and she said no..so I told her it was unlikely that it would be obvious to others if it happened. That said, I imagine this could change as she moves up age groups...I think most of her peers don't menstruate yet, nor does she. Does anyone have any horror stories about this? I'm pretty sure she would refuse one of those period swimsuits...[/quote] Valid fear, especially if never had a period before. It can come at any time. I would reassure her that her time in the pool is a small percentage of her total day and it is unlikely. But even so, there typically is a fair amount of cramping that comes before I significant amount of bleeding. Take that as her warning. [/quote]
