Thanks for the opposite view, although the ocean with surf might be safer than a pool. I've swallowed ocean salt water and pool water in my pre-PEG days and the latter was worse.
I'd hate to ruin the first vacation in a year by getting an infection so I may just play it safe. My first GI was a joke and there was no follow up from the second GI who replaced the first GI's mistakes later. Thanks for sharing what you were told
