I wouldn't risk it. They wouldn't last long with all the chemicals they put in pools. Turtles are better suited to salt or fresh water.

Yes they can if there are no chemicals. If it is just for housing the turtle. Also if you're keeping it outdoors make sure that it can survive outdoors in your area. Be sure the turtle can climb out of the pool, and be sure Raccoons and other critters cannot get them.

Turtles can live in Swimming Pools, but it is not an ideal environment for them. Chlorine and chemicals in the pool can be harmful to turtles, and the lack of a proper basking area and natural habitat can lead to stress and health issues. It is recommended to provide turtles with a proper enclosure that mimics their natural habitat instead.

Turtles CAN drown, but as they are amphibious creatures of the sea, it doesn't happen often. You might be getting mixed up between turtles and tortoises, which are land creatures, who can't swim, so they would drown if someone put them in water.

The chlorine would be harsh on the turtle's skin. Also, most turtles so need some access to land. It is possible for a turtle to drowned if they do not have a place to sometimes leave the water.

Yes, turtles can swim. Sea Turtles live underwater and have flippers so they can swim. Other turtles would go in the water, but they won't be able to swim as good as Sea Turtles
