"Swimming in polluted water can increase the risk of experiencing skin irritation and getting a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)," points out Dr O'Neill. "Wearing a wet bathing suit for a long time after you are done with your swim can also increase the likelihood of irritation and infection, however these risks are not exclusive to when you are on your period."
She adds: "It is always recommended to have a shower and change into clean, dry clothes after you have been swimming to prevent the above from happening."
The most common complaints from swimming in contaminated water often include skin infections and stomach illnesses (if you swallow the water).
In some cases, the chlorine in swimming pools can irritate the vulva and vagina, which can leave you at risk of developing a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis (BV).
If this happens, don’t panic, just have a shower immediately after swimming in chlorinated pools, and don’t sit around in your wet swimwear.
"If you have any unusual itching, burning or discharge that persists after your swim, consider speaking with your doctor," reminds Dr O'Neill.

Can you go swimming on your period? Here's the lowdown...
Is it as much of a no-go as we've always assumed?www.cosmopolitan.com
You don’t wanna hang around in a wet bathing suit, whether it’s a regular or period-friendly one, so you don't invite a BV infection (or bacterial vaginosis, an imbalance of the bacteria in your vagina that can cause uncomfy burning and itching) or yeast infection to the pool party.
"Remember that your vagina is full of bacteria and yeast that live in perfect harmony," says Dr. Ramsey.
"Yeast loves warm and moist environments [so does bacteria], and wearing a wet swimsuit for too long can cause yeast to overgrow and lead to a yeast infection."
