Unlikely: You are very unlikely to get amebic infection from a public swimming pool. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

It is found primarily where there is warm water. REF: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/two-us-residents-die-after-contracting-brain-eating-amoeba/56577
