I think there are mainly two differences between these options. Firstly, swimming in the pool is generally safer because there are usually lifeguards on duty, ensuring the safety of swimmers. In contrast, many beaches lack such personnel, which can make swimming in the sea risky. Secondly, there is the issue of water quality. While swimming pools are expected to be maintained regularly, some pool owners neglect this need to save money. As a result, the water quality in the sea could be better than in some swimming pools.
