Good Lord, girl! I doubt girls are looking...most of them are too busy hiding from you!
I'm jealous about the swimming for PE! Anyway, tampons are super easy. I was a competitive swimmer as a kid and wasn't taking off a week for my period. So, if you do the tampon route, buy the smallest you can find and read the directions. The directions are horrendously embarrassing and ever so slightly scary to read, but they do help and can be better than talking to your mum. They even have diagrams. Remember, though, if you don't get it set in just right, it'll hurt a bit, just take a deep breath and pull it back out. Then try again. However, if you don't want to, just don't, but some women prefer tampons with a pantyliner to big bulky pads.
Changing is easy in a group, too. Wear a long tee or bring in a towel to wrap around yourself. You can shimmy in and out of your clothes under a towel. After swimming, just wrap your towel around yourself, hold in place and shimmy out of your suit. Then, slide your underwear on and put your bra on over your towel and slide your towel out from underneath and, if you want, pull your shirt on over the towel and bra for extra coverage!
Good luck, girl!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, some tips for protecting your hair from chlorine. If you wet your hair completely before you get in the pool, the chlorine is less likely to soak into the hair. Also, after you get out of the pool, you need to rinse your hair and your suit immediately. Just shower with a bit of shampoo before you take your suit off...this also means it's easier to shower with a bunch of other girls!

don't worry, many girls will be in your situation. if you get a locker by your friends, you can talk to them as you change to draw attention away from that area. if you're really uncomfortable, face your locker and change. or, sit on the bench and try to change. don't worry, i'm sure none of the girls will be looking for anything like that, anyway. as for the swimming, your flow actually slows and stops due to the water pressure in the pool. unless, of course, you have an exceptionally heavy flow. when i did swimming, girls were given 4 days of the 6 weeks of swimming as "personal days". however, they had to be consecutive and you still had to dress in your regular pe uniform rather than a swimsuit. you also only got half credit. if you have been diagnosed with a heavy flow, get your doctor to write up a quick note and give it to your teacher when swimming starts/you get your period during swim.
