Ah, duck itch! The warmer water temps certainly might promote more
of these little guys.
As soon as you get out of the water, rinse off with clean water.
The 'mites' start burrowing in as you dry off, so you need to
wash them off immediately.
That should take care of most of the problem. I do not believe they
do this while you are in the water. However, children tend to hop
in and out all day long, so they're probably gonna get itchy
unless you do let them stay in all night too.
