Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Look... you're just going to have to get over it.
You have your period, you don't use tampons. Perfectly good excuse. There isn't one otherwise. Any other excuse would require fooling your parents into thinking you have a medical condition, which they would take you to a doctor to confirm.
Your parents probably already know (it's not like pads are the most subtle thing) so just talk to your mom about it. I don't see a reason why you can't talk to her... she does it too, and she'll understand.
You really are going to have to get over your embarrassment sooner or later. What happens when you have a boyfriend/husband? You can't hide it from them. You can't hide it from your gynecologist.
If you really, really don't want to tell anyone, your best bet is to switch from pads to tampons (a light one would do for the hour or so you need to swim) or reusable menstrual cups.
That's just how it is.
You've asked this question 3 times now... I don't think you're going to get the answer you want. That's not how advice works. You get what you get :)

We all go through swimming class and none of us want to do it, for whatever reason.
And when I first started my period, I was so embarassed and didn't tell my mom. It was horrible.
But now that I am eighteen, I realize that it simply isn't a big deal. Your mother got her period when she was young and of course she expects you to have it.
If you want to get out of swimming, you need a note. I don't see any other health reason that you shouldn't go, besides like Swimmers Ear or 'allergic to chlorine' but both of those sound like a lie and you would need a doctors note.
You could forge a note, but that would get you in trouble if you were caught.
Face your fears and ask your mom for a note, or just deal with swimming.

I think I answered this one before and judging from your current writing it was not what you were looking for.
The only thing I can think of to offer as advice is to go to the health office and ask the nurse to give you an excuse.
At some point you are going to have to give someone a reason for why you cannot go swimming this week. Your reason is a totally natural bodily function. I do not understand in this day and age why you are so embarrassed. If you were to send me a private message as to why you are embarrassed about this maybe I could be more helpful. Remember I am old enough to be your grandfather. In my many years I have seen and done many things including being a Firefighter first responder with EMS training.
