Showering Before Getting in Pool

I used to waterski in a river used as a raw sewage end point in the 80's. That was the least of my worries with gators and poisonous snakes swimming around. LOL On a more tragic note, an other poster has made reference to potentially harmful organisms found in open water. I do not know how much of her story I can share publicly (never asked for the permission), but let us just say that one of the best athletes in the world, all times, all sports, Shelley Tailor Smith (7 times world champion, 1991 leader of the world cup ranking before all males) has had a huge struggle against one of these, after having swam in a River. Was it in Santa Fe Argentina? I don't remember (although what I do remember from this river is that no matter how clear the goggles, you just can't see your own hands while swimming in there, marathon is 64k long). She struggled for her life and won that fight as if it was the 8th World Title.
