I am tired when I get back from the sea so i is hard for me to learn Torah this minute. So I thought to take a few minutes to explain a very important aspect of all this. A separation between one's body and the water is only a separation is it is רוב הגוף ומקפיד stops the water from touching most of the body and one wants the water not to touch. If the clothing stops the water from touching only less than most of the body and one wants the water not to touch that makes the dipping not valid by a decree from the sages. but what you usually have with clothing is the water touches all of the body and one does not mind. that is not even a decree. So a woman can go to the sea with her regular swim suit even during the day of the seventh day and that is a valid dipping--if she dips in all of her body including her head.
i mean to say that if the period is less than seven days [which is usual]then she goes into a natural body on water even during the seventh day and becomes pure at night. but in the unusual situation that she sees again after that then she waits a day שומרת יום כנגד יום and goes again into water. If again she sees then again waits a day and again into water. But if she sees for three days then that is a zava and she needs seven clean days --that means to check on the first day and seventh. If all those days are clean then she goes into a natural body of water But here I have again a problem because at that point she needs a spring. Not a river, nor even the sea but an actual spring. מים חיים [well as rivers are concerned, that is an argument among the rishonim since rivers are fed from springs underneath them.]
