You really shouldn't let your period rule your life like that.
Practice using tampons before you go to the amusment park, just so you can get the hang of it and wont be stuck on the day. Using a tampon for the first time can be tricky but after a bit of practice they're fine. Just relax and follow the instructions on or in the box.
If you have a tampon in properly, you wont be able to feel a thing. If it hurts or you can feel it then it's probably a sign that it hasn't been inserted properly. Just take it out, relax and try again with a fresh one. You should change your tampon every four hours or so, although if you are swimming then I advise you put a new one in before and straight afterwards.
Don't worry about leaking as it is very rare. If you have a heavy flow then use a higher aborbancy tampon to make extra sure.

ok..i had this probablem once before too!..tampons seem a little weird but after you use them once or twice it easy..when wearing a tampon..it shouldnt feel uncomfortable..you shouldnt even be able to realize you have one on..if you have discomfort it probably means that its not all the way in..so redo with a new one..and it depends on what size tampon you have on depending on how long you should wear it..but my advice who be not to wear it more than a few hours..

First of all, women stop bleeding when they're immersed in water, so you shouldn't bleed while you're actually in the pool.
There's not much point in wearing a pad into the pool because it will get waterlogged and uncomfortable as hell.
A tampon is very comfortable - when it's in right, you shouldn't even feel it. I suggest you buy the smallest size (sometimes called junior or slender regular). Your first time trying it, lie down on your back in bed and get relaxed and comfortable. Gently feel around down there with your finger (wash your hands first) and put your finger into your vagina first so you have a good idea where it is and what it feels like to put something in it. Before you try to insert the tampon, make sure that the cardboard tube on the outside is sliding easily (sometimes they hang up a little), and then slowly and gently insert the tampon as far into yourself as possible. The main mistake girls make is not to put it in far enough, and if it isn't in all the way, it hurts. Then slide the covering off (make sure you pull out both the inner and outer tube, if it's that kind), make sure the string is hanging out, and you're all set! You'll know it's in right if you can't feel it or can barely feel it. If it feels like something is irritating you down there, it's not in far enough.
Once you're used to putting it in, you'll do it while squatting over the toilet.
As to how ofen to change it, generally it works to change it anytime you go to the bathroom or every 4 hours or so. If you are worried, you can wear a pantyliner with it, one of those ultrathin little pads. After a few months, you'll have more of a feel for how heavy your flow is, how often you need to change things, and what size tampon you need.

I know exactly how that situation is, babe. Well you don't have to go in the pool if you don't want too. You can just sit on the side of the pool and tan with a pad. You can go to this website- www.beinggirl.com and surf around there. You will find some tips on tampons. Hope I helped and have fun hun!
