Some common germs can live for long periods of time in salt water, and lakes and rivers can become contaminated with germs from sewage, animal waste, water runoff, as well as direct human contamination from fecal accidents and germs rinsed off the bottoms of swimmers.

Recreational water illnesses have been associated with swimming at ocean beaches. Some common germs can live for long periods of time in salt water, and lakes and rivers can become contaminated with germs from sewage, animal waste, water runoff, as well as direct human contamination from fecal accidents and germs rinsed off the bottoms of swimmers.</DIV>

Children should avoid swimming in areas that have been identified as unsafe by state/local health departments that release information about germtesting results for local recreational water. Some germs that live in freshwater normally do not infect humans.
