Is water hypotonic? if so, what can it do to the sperm if the water is warm shower water ?

Well...: Tap water is Hypotonic, yes. It can dilute and damage sperm, and sometimes it does not if you have waited a bit of time for contact...

Yes: They will likely absorb water and get waterlogged. Once they do they lose potency.
