Hi,
There is no evidence that tub or pool water enters into the bladder during swimming. It is safe to swim if you have a UTI.
Wet swimsuits, however, are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and potentially enter the urethra leading to a UTI. Rinse with clean water and change into dry clothing as soon as you are done swimming.
Remember to drink plenty of non-carbonated, non-caffeinated beverages. Water is best!
