Can I get pregnant from swimming with a boy

Maybe you often hear about women getting pregnant from swimming or bathing in hot springs. You may be afraid to swim in public places, especially in a swimming pool with lots of men. Wait a minute, where did this issue actually come from? Is it true that someone can get pregnant because of swimming, or is this issue just a hoax spread to scare women? Just go ahead and check the scientific explanation below.

Could it be that a woman becomes pregnant because of swimming?

A man may ejaculate (excrete semen filled with sperm) in a swimming pool or bath, but can he get pregnant from swimming? The answer isnot.

Why can not? The sperm that is released when a man swims cannot walk in search of the vagina, penetrates the swimwear, enters the cervix, and fertilizes the egg until pregnancy occurs.

If ejaculation occurs in plain warm water, the sperm may last several minutes to live. However, the chances of sperm in water finding their way into a woman's body are so low that the chances of getting pregnant are very low.

Especially when swimming or sitting in a bath, the vaginal opening is usually not in a position to open or widen. The vagina will only open when you are about to give birth and when you are receiving sexual stimulation. So, there is actually no way for the sperm in the pool water to reach the egg in a woman's body.

Meanwhile, if ejaculation occurs in hot water or in a cold swimming pool filled with chemicals or other substances, sperm will not be able to survive for more than a few seconds.

Sperm can only live outside the body for a short time and in the right environment. Well, swimming pool water is not an environment capable of supporting sperm life. So in essence, water cannot be an intermediary for sperm cells to enter a woman's body and cause pregnancy. So, there is no need to worry about swimming or soaking in the bath together with men.

Can sperm penetrate the skin and get pregnant?

Again, the answer can not. To produce a pregnancy, sperm cells must enter through the cervix to meet the egg. Meanwhile, if the sperm sticks to the skin alone, the sperm cells will not be able to be absorbed by the skin and then carried to the egg.

Therefore, you will not get pregnant because swimming and your skin touching other people's sperm. In addition, sperm cells will soon die outside the human body, for example when they stick to the skin.

Then can sex in the pool make you pregnant?

If you have sex with your partner in the pool or in the water, pregnancy is definitely possible. The reason is, penetration will allow sperm to directly into and stored in the vagina, and water outside the body will not interfere with this process.

How long can sperm survive?

Sperm can survive anywhere between 20-60 minutes outside of your body. However, this depends on exposure to air and other environmental factors.

Sperm on the surface of dry objects such as clothes or human skin will die when the semen dries up. In warm water or a hot tub, sperm may live longer because sperm can thrive in warm, wet places. However, being able to survive does not mean being able to "swim" on your own to find a vagina and enter a woman's body.

When sperm are in a woman's body, they can live for up to 5 days. Therefore, there is still the possibility of getting pregnant, if a woman and a man have sexual intercourse a few days before the woman is ovulating.

How much sperm is needed to get pregnant?

It only takes one sperm to fertilize a woman's egg. However, every time a man ejaculates, an average of nearly 100 million sperm cells are released.

So why is it that so many sperm are released if only one is needed to fertilize an egg? Sperm must be able to fertilize an egg, but this is not an easy thing because the vaginal environment is acidic enough to kill sperm cells. Only the fastest and healthiest sperm can penetrate the vagina and reach the egg.

Therefore, the more sperm that are released, the greater the chance of the egg being fertilized and producing offspring.

So the conclusion is a woman will not get pregnant from swimming, unless you do have sex with a partner in the pool. This is because the human reproductive system works in its own way. So, it is important for everyone to understand how the reproductive system works in both women and men. That way, you will not be easily swallowed up by hoaxes and false myths about human reproduction.
