Some of the common summer viruses-- in particular the enteroviruses that can cause diarrhea and the well known hand-foot-mouth disease-- are easily acquired from other children who swim in the same pool.

Diarrhea is more frequent and more liquid bowel movements than normal. There are many causes. Diarrhea often is caused by an infection with bacteria, viruses or a parasite. Bacteria cause diarrhea either by invading the intestine or by producing a toxin that makes the intestine secrete more water. When the diarrhea is caused by food contaminated with bacteria or parasites, people often refer to this as food poisoning. Other causes of diarrhea include: Irritable bowel syndrome, especially during times of increased stress. Side effects from medications, such as antibiotics and magnesium-containing antacids.
