Both answers are fine, depending on your actual location. Meet me "at the pool". Means you will meet at the pool complex, or near the actual pool. I �ll be "in the pool", means you will be in the water. I would say "I prefer to swim at the Kallang Swimming Pool (or Complex)." "I enjoy swimming laps in the olympic length pool there."
