What if we bring swim diapers for her? Would that be considered really weird?

In my experience, and in observing small children in the bath - unless they are *tiny*, if they`re going to "leak" they do it while being washed before getting into the bath. I think this is really a judgement call on your part. If your daughter is the type to pee in the bath - then don`t take her in. Or make sure it`s a private (family) bath. It`s largely an honor thing.
Either way, baths are constantly flowing, and are scrubbed down daily - so within a short amount of time the water is completely changed and within 24 the whole bath has been cleaned. I have never heard of anyone having issues with getting sick in a bath - much MUCH more sanitary than say, the beach, a lake, or even a pool in which the water is changed once or twice a season. I wouldn`t get in one with a huge open wound, but then again I don`t think I`d want to go anywhere with a huge open wound.
Swim diapers would really be pointless as they do not block urine or feces from escaping - they just don`t swell up in the same way as a normal diaper when in water. If your child goes while wearing one, it will still leak out without much difference compared to being nude. Plus, wearing anything in the bath is a huge no-no.
