Oh how versatile stadiums are! Looks like this pool is sectional.

When I was a kid back in the 1970s, a neighbor of my grandmother had a 4' above ground pool that held maybe 7000 gallons. Everyone in that area were on well water because the water company hadn't installed water lines or sewer lines yet. But they had friends that worked for the fire department and it took about 1 hour to fill the pool. The truck showed up, ran a fire hose to the pool and unloaded the entire load in a couple of minutes and that filled it up about half way. They then drove over the hill about 10 miles away to refill at the nearest hydrant and returned and finished it off. I remember that because as a single digit year old boy I thought that was cool. BTW, they only in the past few years installed city water and sewer in that area.

The U.S. Olympic Trials draw 10,000-plus crowds for every session, as well as extensive coverage on broadcast television. No purpose-built swim facility can accommodate those crowds or those TV cameras; since most competitive swim venues these days are indoors, a temporary expansion isn’t feasible. There are outdoor pools that could have grandstands built around them, but building an arena around a pool is not going to cost less than building a pool inside an arena. Even then, the arena has the advantages of being climate-controlled and protected from the elements, a significant consideration when the Olympic Trials are held in mid-summer. TL:DR: Whatever the cost, building a pool in an arena is more practical than the alternatives.
