there is no danger with swimming endangering your swimmers. 
Swim to your hearts content &amp;amp; find fertile ground. 
you reap what you sow. 

doubt the fda will want to test swimming as a birth control method. 

years ago there was a study of athletes  that found swimmers to 
1) have the highest self esteem, 
2) be the most gregarious &amp;amp; 
3) be the horniest of all the athletes studies.

good luck with your quest&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to protect my testicles during swimming?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/145327?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 May 2010 09:12:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:df0fe8c2-a68c-4615-b442-c3aee7f2eace</guid><dc:creator>swoomer</dc:creator><description>Swim in VERY cold water?????

is being infertile a bad thing? If that was the care, many guys would just sit in the pool for a hour each day until their sperm count went from active to non-existent.

It depends if your&amp;#39;e circumcised or not.

On a personal note, I have 4 kids myself.
