Yes, it is possible to get a bacterial infection from a swimming pool if the pool water is not properly treated or maintained. Bacteria such as E. coli and Pseudomonas can cause infections like skin rashes, ear infections, and gastrointestinal issues when ingested or come into contact with cuts or wounds while swimming. Regular maintenance of pool water, proper sanitation, and personal hygiene can help reduce the risk of bacterial infections.

Yes, it is possible to get a bacterial infection from a swimming pool. That's why balancing and sanitizing pool water is so important.

Bacteria are introduced into Swimming Pools by people, wind and rain, reptiles and animals, and all kind of bacteria-carrying debris that enters the pool through a variety of other means. Pools must be sanitized to get rid of these contaminants and make them a healthy place to swim. Pool water must be balanced in order for sanitizing agents (usually chlorine) to work properly. If swimming pool maintenance isn't a priority for the owner of the pool you swim in and the pool isn't maintained properly, you could get a bacterial infection from swimming in the pool.

Pool water is usually treated with chlorine to kill bacteria. Unless the water has been sufficiently diluted or was not treated properly, no colonies should form on the agar.
