You can't go without nothing, you'll just bleed on everything. If you intend to swim, it's also common curtsey to everyone there, as you'd be bleeding in the water. It's recommended to wear a tampon if you are going to swim, or be in a bathing suit. A pad can't be used in the water, as it would just absorb it. If you are NOT going to swim, a pad would be fine but it might be noticed you're on your period if you wear one in a bathing suit.

YES you can swim on your period! As long as your in the water most women stop bleeding but if you like you can swim with a tampon or pad just to be safe.
