Will sperm die in chlorine/swimming pool?

Good evening,

I know this might be a silly question but I would really like to know and to be sure.
My significant other and I fancy to have vigorous foreplay and we can tend to go into places that offer the most comfort and privacy (other than a bedroom.) We were in a swimming pool and we were about to get steamy and spicy but we were afraid if the sperm in his ejaculate would travel in my vagina (without any penetration or genital contact). If he were to ejaculate would the chlorine in the swimming pool kill his sperm? What if it isn't heavily chlorinated?

We seriously do not want children, (a major risk to my health) and we are currently looking for permanent forms of birth control.

I am currently not on any birth control medication and a healthy virgin. (If that helps)

We use forms of birth control and take many pre-cautions to avoid pregnancy everywhere else. We just want to be sure about the pool

Thank you very much to whoever can help us!!

Sperm couldn't handle the chlorine. There's no way they could survive in that environment. You have no reason to be concerned.

If your question is, will the sperm swim into you're vagina if he ejaculates in the pool away from contract from you, the answer is no, the sperm will not swim into your vagina if he ejaculates in the pool, his penis needs to be in you're vagina,  or the sperm needs to have direct contact with your vagina

No you can not get pregnant. I basically said that by telling you if you don't have sex then you have no worry.

I understand that "the only way to get pregnant is through genital contact or penetration-- in other words sex" But it's still gives us paranoia..and what if he ejaculated close to my vagina in the pool? Its all those things that become nerve wracking but it would be helpful if someone would elaborate better on our specific question. To provide us with comfort.

I was talking about foreplay not engaging in sex, and the chances of sperm possibly going in my vagina in a swimming. I know that abstinence is the only way. But I wasn't talking about sex regardless.

If you are a virgin then you have never had sex correct? If so then don't have sex and you will not get pregnant.
