Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that can be acquired from swimming in pools or lakes include cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, and bacterial infections like E. coli or Shigella, often due to contamination with fecal matter. These pathogens thrive in freshwater environments where water can be poorly treated or contaminated. In contrast, the ocean typically has higher salinity and more robust natural water circulation, which can dilute and reduce the survival of pathogens, making gastrointestinal infections less likely in saltwater. However, it's important to note that ocean water can still be contaminated, especially near sewage outfalls or during heavy rainfall.
