Default DIYS Bacteria Test?

There must be a do it your self way to test for bacteria. Some sort of additive that you mix into a sample of beach-side water and let it sit for a few hours. If there is a reaction, you have bacteria. Moldy bread as a medium perhaps? A home test would help some people feel more comfortable about getting into the water, knowing that they probably won't get duck itch.
