You can find a variety of microorganisms in swimming pools and similar recreational water environments, which manage to enter in different ways.
In most cases, the risk of disease or infection has been associated with fecal contamination of water. This may come from faeces produced by swimmers (anthropogenic), water from a contaminated source, or in outdoor pools as a result of direct contamination of animals such as birds or rodents.
fecal matter contaminates the water when a person has an accidental faecal release - AFR (through the deposition of solid stool or diarrhea) or when the residual fecal material on swimmers' bodies is washed in pool.
Many of the outbreaks associated with swimming pond water and the like could be prevented or reduced if these facilities had been well managed.
no human propagation for example from fecal vomiting, mucus, saliva or skin, in swimming pools and similar recreational water environments is a potential source of pathogenic organisms (disease causing). Or users can directly infected swimmers contaminate the waters of the swimming pools or similar and surfaces of objects or materials in a facility with particular pathogenic viruses or fungi, which can trigger skin infections in other swimmers who come into contact with water or contaminated surfaces.

Some bacteria, the most notable are of faecal origin and may accumulate in biofilms and present danger of infection. In addition, certain bacteria and aquatic non-parasitic amoebas can grow in waters of ponds, components or facilities like swimming pools or on wet surfaces within the facility at a point that some of them may cause a variety of respiratory infections or , dermal or central nervous system.
In most cases, the potential microbial hazards monitoring is done using microorganisms indicators rather than specific microbial pathogens, which are easy to enumerate and could be expected to be present in greater numbers than pathogens.
The traditional role of indicator parameters to show the presence or absence of fecal pollution in water supply sources.
