Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear poorly maintained swimming pools containing plenty number of bacteria and protozoa. Once water has been contaminated by germs that cause diarrhea, a swimmer only has to swallow a tiny amount to become infected. These are cryptosporidium, Giardia, Shigella, norovirus, and E. Coli. These may cause diarrhoea and fever etc..

Swimming may cause swimmers rash by pseudomonas auresenosa , swimmers ear, leginella pneumonia etc... Please take them to the physician as early as possible. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
