NO, probably the Mythbusters, on the Discovery Channel covered that one in the Myth that a Confederate Musket Ball could make a woman pregnant.

Has this to say:
“Question: How long can sperm live outside the body in open air? How long in water? Like in a bath? Please, I’m looking for a time estimate. All info I have found explains the conditions the sperm need. They have not explained the time period. Thanks for your time and help.
Answer:
Your question is a difficult one to answer because there are many variables that affect how long sperm can live in different situations. What I can say is that sperm do not spontaneously die when the ejaculate contacts air, but they are certainly dead by the time semen has dried. Beyond that, I can only offer that the lifetime of sperm outside the male or female body is about half an hour to a few hours.
In water, such as a hot tub or a bath, the lifetime of sperm can be somewhat longer, as sperm survive well in warm, wet environments. Once again, many variables affect how long sperm may live in the bath. The concentration of soap in the water affects the life of any sperm in the water and the exact temperature of the water also has an effect. While sperm may survive for some time in a bath there is little risk of getting pregnant from it. The concentration of sperm in a whole bathtub full of water is extremely low and the likelihood of a sperm entering your vagina and making its way all the way through your uterus, to the fallopian tubes and fertilizing an egg is extremely low. While you probably shouldn’t take regular baths in sperm filled water, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.”
Life is a pretty hostile place for the poor sperm cell. In a pool it will be too cool for the sperm to survive, they need human body temperature. Soap can kill sperm as well. If sperm dries then it dies. If you have free floating sperm in a hot tub, that is close to body temperature then there is a small chance that you could get pregnant, but the sperm has to climb into your vagina, and up your fallopian tubes to reach the egg to do it. Since we are talking about a few hundred cells in many gallons of water, the chance is slim.

The chlorine in the pool water would most likely kill off the sperm. Also, the temperature might not be conducive for sperm to live & swim. So, the answer is NO.

the sperm isn't the only thing you need to worry about in a communal pool
