The sperm has to go up through the vaginal canal, then enter the cervix and swim through the uterus to the fallopian tubes - in the fallopian tubes they can come to rest for a few days until ovulation occurs, then they wake to meet the egg.
The sperm requires fertile cervical mucus - this mucus normally plugs the cervix making it difficult or impossible for sperm or anything else from getting up into the uterus, thus sperm normally die in the acidic pH of the vaginal canal. Around a week before ovulation this mucus changes, not only is the cervix no longer plugged-up but this mucus leaks down into the vaginal canal to give the sperm something to swim through to get up through the cervical opening - this mucus also protects the sperm from the acidic pH of the vagina.
