My suggestion is to talk to a camp counselor and tell them you have your period. Tell them that this mean you [obviously] cannot take your swim test. There's no way they can force you to take it. Ask them if you can make it up another time, when your period has finished.

That way your period won't hold you back from so many things. Just go in the bathroom and practice. But if you REALLY don't want to, when you get to camp, try talking with one of the women counselors or swim directors. They should understand :] Goodluck!
