Yes. To test this, put a small piece of leftover meat in a plastic cup and leave it out for flies. They will lay their eggs in it. After a few days, cover the meat with water. After a total of eight days, maggots will crawl out of the meat and escape as flies into the air. If you don't want flies, put the cup into a plastic grocery bag, tie the "handles" of the bag and dispose of it after seven days total. Good luck in ridding us of flies. BTW, each fly lays about 150 eggs at a time. Doing the above, early in the season, prevents perhaps a hundred thousand flies by September. Their life cycle is pretty short from being laid as an egg to laying 150 eggs at a time.

Can you get sick for swimming in a pool with maggots?

The answer here must be yes. Without knowing why maggots would even be in a swimming pool, there should be sufficient disinfectant in the pool water to kill maggots or any other type of invaders. You wouldn't put your body in contact with maggots in any normal situation therefore swimming with maggots is putting your body in contact with the germs that are washed from them into the water. Do not swim in any polluted water is always the safest rule.
