Should I swim when I’m on my period?
Yes, swimming during your period is generally safe and can even be beneficial. Consider the following:
Relief from Cramps: The buoyancy and gentle movements in swimming can help alleviate menstrual cramps.
Improved Mood: Exercise, including swimming, releases endorphins that can enhance mood and reduce PMS symptoms.
Hygiene: Use tampons, menstrual cups, or period swimwear to stay comfortable and maintain hygiene. Ensure you change these products regularly and rinse yourself off after swimming to avoid irritation.
