To learn a lot about the duck itch or the swimmer's itch, suggest you google "Wikipedia swimmer's itch."
According to Wikipedia, a microscopic waterborne parasite is looking for waterfowl like ducks or geese and will latch onto humans too, and is more common in the shallow water probably because that's where the ducks are more commonly found.
