Can I get pregnant if I have sex in a pool or hot tub?
Yes, you can still get pregnant. The heat or chlorine in a hot tub will not kill sperm or make it more difficult for sperm to swim. Once the penis ejaculates inside the vagina—whether you are in a pool, hot tub, or romantic, candle-lit bedroom—you can get pregnant.
