Any summary of this?

I've been to two concentration camps, Terezín in Czechia and Mauthausen in Austria - no swimming pools were there... Have you visited any?

I have no information regarding whether swimming pools were at camps or not. That said, given the importance of the holocaust story to western propaganda efforts post-war, I would not find it surprising that if there were such facilities, western intelligence would have made absolutely sure those were filled in and "erased". I wouldn't put that past them. But I repeat, I don't have an opinion on the truth of this one in either direction.

There exists, on U.S. University servers, photos and English translations of original nazi documents that includes blueprints for some of the concentration camps including Auschwitz. 20 years ago they were easily accessable online by search results that returned their .edu addresses. I saw some of them they showed the camps had movie theatres and soccer pictures. I dont remember swimming pools but that doesn't mean they wern't there.

There were foreign inspections to the camps so sometimes they tried to make the places look better... see my comment https://saidit.net/s/conspiracy/comments/947t/testimonies_from_holocaust_survivors_that_tell/xjaq

There are reports that the Nazis actually tried to fool inspectors by pretending the inmates had it pretty good there: https://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/articles/theresienstadt-paradise-camp/

So, in the months prior to the official visit, great care was taken to improve the appearance of the camp – the word the SS used was ‘beautification’. All the buildings were freshly-painted and the streets were repaired. There was a feverish period of construction of cafés, shops and businesses – many of these were actually just false frontages like in a Hollywood film-set – there was a new children’s play area, a swimming pool and even a synagogue which was made out of a converted gymnasium. The SS even created fake bank pass-books and a false currency for the camp. The prisoners were given more food and the ‘make-over’ included the immediate removal of 7,500 of the inmates to Auschwitz, so that the camp would appear less crowded.

What I remember most from my visits were the gallows, in Mauthausen an execution room next to the crematorium where they would hang you on a short piece of wire, and the big cemetery in Terezín. It makes you want to throw up when you see this sort of stuff.
