Is the water polluted

So, I've recently started to train in a small lough. Now this lough lies on farm land and gets its water from a stream that runs across many fields of the farm where animals graze.
Being completely new to fresh water swimming I was wondering if it is a safe place to swim without the risk of catching some sort of infection.
So do any of you swim in a similar situation? Is there anyway I can test the waters safety?

See if you can weasel a prescription for amoxicillan from your doctor - there are a lot of things that it won't cure, but there are a good number of water-bourne bacterial infections that it will cure.
