TL;DR
Fish are common even inside netted swimming areas at most Egyptian beach resorts. Travelers who prefer fish-free swimming should avoid Sharm el-Sheikh and opt for resorts with pools.
What the community said
Sharm el-Sheikh is not ideal for those who dislike marine life in the water. Even inside netted swimming enclosures, local fish live and swim freely, so avoiding them entirely is difficult.

Even beaches without impressive underwater scenery have fish near the pontoon, and rays are occasionally spotted. For a richer underwater experience, island excursions are recommended.

In the Naama Bay area, fish swim directly among bathers — they are harmless and non-aggressive, but a constant presence in the water.
