The story of a girl becoming pregnant in a
shared swimming pool is an old urban
legend, but this particular version of it
originated with a fake news site.

About this rating

In February 2016, several fake news web

sites published articles reporting that
sixteen girls had become pregnant after a
boy accidentally ejaculated into the water of
a pool in which they were swimming:

16 young teenage girls between the

age of 13 and 17 years of age have
become pregnant after a pool party
went terribly wrong, reports the
Tallahassee Herald this morning.

A simple weekend pool party turned to

tragedy when one of the young men
(Tommy Coulter) attending the birthday
celebration ejaculated in the pool
without warning the house guests,
accidentally ending up impregnating
half of the girls present at the
celebration.

"I'm glad I didn't have my swimsuit that

day," remembers Daliah Jennings,
present during the celebration. "It was a
surprise party to celebrate my 15th
birthday, let's just say that a baby in my
womb is the kind of present I'm glad I
didn’t get" she acknowledges, visibly
relieved of not getting pregnant.

Setting aside the obvious physical

improbability of this story (and the notion that
a boy would "warn" people that he was about
to ejaculate into a swimming pool), we know
this story is completely false because it
originated with a web site that specializes in
clickbait fake news articles.

This particular fake news item was originally

ADVERTISING

posted on 26 January 2016 by the fake news

site World News Daily Report. It was
subsequently picked up by several similar
sites, including Huzlers, Nigerian Info
and Not Allowed To.

This isn't the first time that a false rumor

concerning a woman getting impregnated by
sperm in a swimming pool has been an item
of gossip. It's a common urban legend that
nearly adolescent has heard, almost
invariably involving a "friend of a friend."
