No: Sperm will die in the swimming pool water. Only way for a woman to get pregnant in a swimming pool is to have sex in the water.

Unlikely: I doubt that would ever happen.The over-hydration would likely render the sperm impaired to the point they would never work.I do recall an instance where this argument was used in a paternity case,but this was long ago and likely more myth than real.

No.: Chlorinated water will kill the sperm too quickly for them to be viable.
