Period Boat Camping Vacation! Help Me!?

I’m thirteen and this will be my 3rd period.
I’m going to be on vacation camping with my dad.
We will be going out on a boat all day for some of the days, and I really don’t know how to deal with it on a boat as I will be swimming and going watersporting, there isnt really anywhere to change a tampon…
another problem is that as you dont know what time of day your period starts i might actually be ON the boat when it starts with no tampon inserted + will still be expected to go swimming.. not swimming is not really an option..
Also, where we are staying has a sceptic tank system so you cant flush tampons, should i just put them in the trash, also can you just put pads in the trash?
We also will be going trampolining, can i go on my period?
- does your period stop in water? how long after being in the water does it start again?
i need urgent help im really worried
how to deal with a period on a boat in front of people if it does leak?

please please help xxx
