Pregnant from swimming in pool?

What is the possibilty of getting pregnant from the following scenario:
In the pool the female has underwear on-the male has nothing on. A little kissing was done-but no genital contact and no fooling around..It's about 2 or 3 in the morning early Fall. (Kind of chilly) Could the guy have had pre-ejaculate come out? And if so-even if our genitals were close but not touching-what would the chances be of getting pregnant? Sorry this is long-I'm just worried. And do sperm survive in pool water when it is below body temp? I've heard different answer's on this matter and just want some clarification..PLEASE HELP!!

there is no way possible..youre going to be fine, the only way it wouldnt be your boyfriends was if you had SEX with another guy, no baby batter is going to survive in the chlorine, and swim through the water, through your swimsuit up your vajay-jay, its just impossible..dont stress!!!!

Oh-the fight with my boyfriend was alcohol induced..By the time I left for the night I was sobered up. I know for a fact (110% sure) that I didn't sleep with the guy in the pool. I just wasn't sure that if he HAD gotten excited in the pool and let a little something out without me knowing-what the odd's of me getting pregnant from that would be. Maybe I am making too much out of nothing. I just want to be 110% sure that I couldn't have gotten pregnant under the circumstances. I mean- how bad would that be to get pregnant with another man's baby without even having sex with him?! In a pool at that where I had underwear on and didn't even touch him down there..And he didn't touch me down there..I guess it does seem pretty impossible.I just need to stop thinking about the "what if"..

honey don't worry about this!!!!!

there is absolutely no chance...stop stressing yourself, and you've already said the man in the pool was black, so as soon as you have the baby you will know! are you sure you didnt have sex with him? were you drinking? you said alcohol was involved, but i didnt catch wether w/boyfriend or the pool guy?

if you got drunk enough, and after going back inside you actually had sex and don't remember, that is the only way that baby would not be your boyfriends.....

I have a friend who tells me the same thing..I wouldn't need the paternity test- my boyfriend and I are white..The guy in the pool was black..I was very upset and emotional that night- and he kissed me in the pool..He wanted to do more but I said No..I should not have even gotten in the pool in the first place..But sometimes we do things before thinking about it...I know this is kind of a crazy situation...I got 3D Ultrasounds of my baby (girl) last week..Some picture's she favor's my boyfriend and his mom..Others not so much..I've wanted a baby with him for a while and I guess now that it's coming close to her arrival-I'm thinking of what could go wrong. I want to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy and I want her birth to be a joyous one with my boyfriend and family. But thank you very much for the reassurance. It's helping make me feel a little better.

Yeah its so impossible that I wouldn't be worried about that scenario. If you are worried though you could get a paterity test after the baby is born just to make sure. But really you are worrying about nothing.

Well the thing is-I AM 7 months pregnant..My due date is July 21st..According to that-I concieved somewhere in the week of October 16th, 2007..I have a boyfriend who I love very much and live with..Last year we got into a pretty heated fight (alcohol was involved) and I left for the night..I went to someone's house and got in the pool as I explained in my original post..But I DID NOT have sex in the pool or even fool around with the guy I was in there with..I'm somewhat sure that the fight happened earlier than my conception week-but paranoia just hit me about a month ago and I've been worried ever since..I don't know exact dates of any of this..That's why I wanted some clarification on the pool/sperm thing...Please don't judge me!! I just need some reassurance!!

If this happened in the early fall then you'd be about 7-8 months pregnant. you would know if you were pregnant by now

Could never happen chlorine kills sperm (and now I know what kills it too!)

Not only would chlorine kill it but WATER would kill sperm.

Doubt you're pregnant. Like I'm 100% sure.

next to none unless he his penis inside your vagine or touching it.  If the sperm came in contact with the pool water the chlorine will most likely kill it.
