You can get sick from exposure to the cold, including cold water, that causes hypothermia or frostbite, etc. but this would take extremely cold water and a long exposure. Just being cold does not cause a cold.

It is really depends on the condition/environment/situation that you are in. Situations that will increase your chances of getting cold or flu: - Swimming too close to a person with cold or flu. - Cold weather while swimming - Never consume vitamin C / zinc - Swimming at a very cold water - Someone sneeze at you (once or couple times) or at your food and you ate it. - Stay too long in the swimming pool - Did not get flu shot - Someone who did not wash their hands (after going to bathroom) and that person touch you or/and your food and you ate it. Lots of possibilities.

It could make you uncomfortable and maybe cause some muscle and joint soreness, but you will not get an infectious disease like a cold or the flu from that alone, it takes viruses to cause colds and flu.

Not unless you are exposed to water so cold it causes hypothermia (highly unlikely from a cold shower).
