I just read that sperm can live for 24 hours in water and it got me thinking.

Im in the swim team, and we practive twice a week in a regular sized pool. Theres a bunch of kids (including boys) and we all practive together.

I always wear a one-piece bathing suit

What are the odds that i could get pregnant from swimming? Am i at risk?

I mean im 13. I dont want a baby yet

Chlorine does NOT kill sperm. However, the chances of you getting pregnant are very slim because first of all the sperm need to make it through your bathing suit, then up your vagina. Although theres like a billion sperm cells in one ejaculate, they are all spread out so the chances are slim of you coming across one.

Trust me I swim 9 times a week on a boys and girls swim team and no one has gotten pregnant yet.
