swimming while pregnant

My husband and I go swimming during the summer at the local lake around here. I was just wondering if anyone has heard about not being able to go swimming in dirty lake water while pregnant. I don't mind swimming but this summer I just don't want to go out in the heat on a boat and be hot all summer long. The water get so hot some times that it doesn't even get you relief to get in to cool off. I am looking for anything to tell my husband we can't go swimming this summer.

yeah I wouldn't swim in lake water maybe a pool would be better or like she said some cool clean water.

Thanks for the comments, I was thinking the same thing. You never know what is in lake water. You hear of people getting ecoli (however you spell it) that is not something I really want to get while I am pregnant.
