Swimming while possibly being on my period.

So I’ve been invited to a pool party. That happens to be on the last day of my period. I’m a little afraid of using tampons because of TSS. I’m definitely going to the party and I will swim. My period may already be done because sometimes it ends early but I’m not sure. Should I try tampons?
