What is the most common disease you get from swimming in the pool?

I was told 6-8 weeks. That's why I usually get tatted in the winter when I won't be tempted by the sun rays and pool!

Shigellosis - Also called bacillary dysentery, this is an acute bacterial disease characterized by fever, nausea, vomiting, cramps and diarrhea caused by Shigella species. In most cases, the stools contain blood and mucus. Shigella is transmitted directly or indirectly via the fecal-oral route and may occur due to the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Of great significance is the low infective dose of between 10-100 organisms. This disease may be acquired by swimming in contaminated surface waters or pools and spas.

Bad enough??
