Does semen die on contact with water?
The question entered my mind when an ignorant individual said on Yahoo that they thought that a woman could get pregnant from a swimming pool if semen was in the water. I specifically was of the thought that the a woman could use the cheapest and most prevalent form of birth control if after unprotected intercourse she sat herself down in a bathtub and directed the spray up into her vagina. The spray that I'm talking 'bout is that of a water nozzle that would spray water at fairly high pressure. If water does in fact kill semen then there would be no need for all these shenanigans re: abortion. Of course there would still be the problem of STDs.

A swimming pool and a bathtub are two different things. Pools are full of chlorine which I'm sure isn't happy to semen. Water from a spout in a tub is just water. Most of the time, girls who do that are looking for pleasure. So no, it doesn't die with contact to water.

I know I've read a caution somewhere on spraying anything in the vagina after having sex with a man's cum inside. Spraying water, instead of washing every single last live sperm out of the vagina, may actually direct the sperm by force of the spray directly into the vagina.

Semen does die on contact with water, but your solution is flawed.
This link explains why vaginal douching does not work as a method of birth control:

Please, please never direct a jet of water into a woman's vagina, especially a high pressure one. You can cause serious internal damage that way.
