Males have a built in mechanism within their bodies that prevents urine (which also travels through the same urethra) from mixing with healthy sperm for a reason. The acid level of urine destroys sperm, so I can't imagine how any of those champion swimmers would survive, let alone make their way into the birth canal. Even without any urine present, sperm generally die within 24 hours of release, so it's not like they're the most hearty of cells. That's one of the reasons men develop thousands of new sperm cells every day. Interesting scenario, but I doubt the chlorine level in any public pool would allow sperm to survive at all.
