There's no female sperm, but they do have their reproductive cell. (egg)

They swim. They have these long tails which they thrash

In a female once a month, an ovary releases an egg which then travels down one of the fallopian tubes until it reaches the uterus where it implants itself in the lining of the uterine wall.

If sexual intercourse has not taken place while the egg is implanted in the uterus, after a few days the lining containing the egg flushes itself out in the form of the woman's menstrual period.

However, if sexual intercourse has taken place while the egg is in the uterus, one or more male sperm contained in his semen will attempt to penetrate the egg in order to fertilize it. This fertilization would result in pregnancy.

The "tail" of a sperm cell waves back and forth enabling it to swim to the egg.

When a woman and a man have sexual intercourse and the sperm that is transmitted from the mans testis is released into the woman's vagina and an egg has been released from her ovary, if this is a good egg and a good sperm cell the woman could become pregnant.

When insemination takes place then the semen gets coagulated in female reproductive tract but after some time it starts getting normal and then it moves up in female reproductive tract where it incounter an egg and then its head releases some chemicals which after having a compatibility reaction with other chemicals secreated by egg gets into it and then fuses with the nucleus of egg.

It must be placed near the mouth (cervix) of the uterus (that's what the penis is for), and then it swims through the uterus and up a fallopian tube.

It swims to the ovum. Sperm are very fragile. Consequently, very few are able to survive the hazardouss swim through the female reproductive system in order to reach the egg.
