There has never been scientific evidence of trichomonas caught though swimming pools, hot tubs, shared towels, etc. Rare cases may be nonsexually acquired, but most claims of nonsexual transmission are from people in denial about the true risks or the result of infection acquired a long time earlier.

I have heard in rare cases it can be transmitted through nonsexual means. Swimming pool would probably be a no due to the large volume of water.
