 It is absolutely postively possible to get pregnant having sex in a swimming pool. The chlorine does not make it safe. He will be ejaculating inside of you where there is no chlorine and no water.As a matter of fact plain water, air and even grape jelly will eventually kill sperm. But that doesnt protect YOU! You need a condom and spermacide!

Of course sperm die in chlorinated water but like Stina said that doesn't make having sex in a pool safe sex. Your partner won't have chlorine up her vagina so those little buggers will be able to swim safely to the egg and bingo, baby! Now if you are wanking in the pool the chlorine will certainly kill the sperm.

 Hello Anonymous,
No, it cannot - "sperm dying in chlorinated water" is a myth. If someone told you that you don't need protection if you have sex in a pool, etc, then they have been misinformed. (You should tell that person they are wrong about the "information" they passed on to you before an unwanted pregnancy occurs.)
Speak to your doctor about it if you want to double check.
Take care.
