Okay, firstly, don't wet the tampon, because that will cause it to absorb some of the water and increase in size. I'm not sure if lubricants will do the same thing (I suppose it depends on the type), but if you use any sort of lubrication that ISN'T water soluble, it will stop the tampon from absorbing blood.
As for why it's so difficult, it could be down to your hymen, as many people have already mentioned, but it could also be what time of your period you're trying to use them at. If you're at a point where your flow is lighter, then you may find them more difficult to insert.
Other things I'd suggest would be: making sure you have the right absorbency for your flow; the right size (i.e. girth) for your body, and trying out applicator/non-applicator tampons, if you haven't already.
If that doesn't work, then you may just be one of the few (like moi) who can't use them - in which case, stick to pads!
IIN I literally can't put in a tampon?

I’m worried that I can’t use them though because I do dance and tumbling and pads don’t really work when you’re doing something active :(
