Make sure there are no chemicals in the water though.

No chemicals? That would be a nasty pool...
Musk turtles don't really LIKE swimming though. They like walking around under water, preferably under some cover. I don't think a swimming pool would excite them too much.
My giant musk turtle is more of a swimmer, and would enjoy eating people's toes.

Musk turtles don't like deep water and should not be exposed to the chlorine and other chemicals in a swimming pool.
