EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. Nice story to explain a pregnancy. that would have to be one hardy swimmer with some smart bomb guidance technology to find the girl.

First of all..weird!!! Second of all..when they say sperm can swim, it means swimming inside of a women to fertilize the egg..not literally swim in a pool! The chemicals would instantly kill the sperm anyways. Good luck..and please don't masturbate in pools anymore..not for the pregnancy worries, but just because its absolutely disgusting.

I seriously doubt it. The only way that could happen is if the sperm could survive in the chlorine, which they can't. And then, they would have to find their way across a pool to a girl. So, probably not.

Chlorinated water should kill the sperm quickly. I don't know about a case where there is ejaculation with penetration in a chlorinated environment, nor do I know about salt water pools.
I'd be curious if any couples' hot tub spas have ever had a case of accidental impregnation.

Well...
1. You can do that in a pool
2. The sperm would die due to the chems in the pool
3. Yes sperm can swim
4. That is a Myth

Probably not in the pool because the chlorine will kill it. But YES sperm does swim.

Actually it is possible. I should know, that's how my mother had ME. If the pool is one of those that doesn't use chlorine and there is a little more than a cup of sperm in the pool, it can happen.

I agree with the above. The chemicals would kill the sperm. If you are planning on doing this, find another hobby, like collecting GI Joes or something.

This is fairly nasty, while I believe that the chances are very low of pregnacy, that's not to say that there isn't an STD risk if someone comes in contact with your spunk.
