Uzi again. Wait... Uzi? Worst anon name I've gotten so far. Haha.
Put what to rest? The article simply states that some public pools have been closed for not maintaining their facilities in accordance with health and safety guidelines. Replace the poo, with say.... Oh I dunno... Broken glass, school of piranha, great white shark, gasoline, dead cow.....
Pool gets closed.
Besides, the issue was not that someone could get sick from swallowing water contaminated with feces. It was about catching a blood-borne infection (Presumably HIV, Hep-C) from swimming in the same water as a menstruating woman. To which no, you can't.
It doesn't even matter if the water is chlorinated. The temperature of the water alone would make kill damn near everything, long before it came into any sort of contact with you.
Whatever could survive, if anything. Would then have to find it's way into your bloodstream.
So unless you're giving yourself a pool water douche or enema. It's not getting in. The only thing I can think of that could possibly happen, would be swimming with an open actively bleeding cut. Even then, the odds would be astronomical. If it's even possible. It's menstrual blood, not arterial spray. A literal drop in a pond. Plus swimming with an open bleeding wound, would also mean doing the exact thing trying to be avoided. Swimming while bleeding.
