Swimmer’s Itch – What You Should Know Before Taking a Dip
As we enjoy the summer weather at the Spring Creek Marina, it’s important to understand that swimming in any natural freshwater body, especially where ducks or geese are present, can come with inherent risks — including swimmer’s itch.
What is Swimmer’s Itch?
Also known as cercarial dermatitis, it’s a temporary skin rash caused by microscopic parasites naturally carried by waterfowl and snails. While uncomfortable, it’s not contagious and typically clears up within a few days.
Other Considerations
Swimming in open, untreated bodies of water may also involve encounters with other organisms such as aquatic bugs, snails, leeches, or other parasites. These are a natural part of freshwater ecosystems and can occasionally cause minor irritation or discomfort.

What We’re Doing
The Spring Creek Association is actively treating the swimming area and the entire marina to help reduce risks, including swimmer’s itch. While these treatments help, it’s important to remember that no natural body of water can ever be entirely free from all organisms.
