Can you get pregnant in water?

It is generally not possible to get pregnant in water, as the water in a pool, hot tub, or other body of water is not a suitable environment for sperm to survive. However, if semen or pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) is present in the water and comes into contact with the genital area, there is a possibility that pregnancy could occur.

To reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy, it is important to use effective contraception consistently and correctly. This includes methods such as the birth control pill, condoms, and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods such as the intrauterine device (IUD). It is also important to use condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
