However, the pollution of the outdoor water environment is capable of directly affecting the physical health of outdoor swimming lovers. Given the above, this paper uses the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology (STIRPAT) model to analyze the environmental water pollution of lakes and study the influencing factors and degree of physical health of outdoor swimming crowds.
