Pool maintenance : Pregnant and swimming in a heated public swimming pool is dependent upon the quality of the water and how well the pool is maintained. Pool water will enter the vagina during the swimming process and if the pool does not nave the proper chlorine levels and pH then it becomes a hazard.

Safety: If the pool is well maintained and you are able to socially distance in the pool and lock room - that is likely fine.
