Abstract
During the summer of 1980, both swimmers and nonswimmers were enlisted in a prospective epidemiological study to determine the relationship between swimming, water quality, and the incidence of illness. Results of 4,537 telephone follow-up interviews showed that crude morbidity rates were 69.6 per 1,000 swimmers versus 29.5 per 1,000 nonswimmers. Swimmers experienced respiratory ailments most frequently, followed by gastrointestinal, eye, ear, skin, and allergenic symptoms, respectively.Entities:
