What gyms have a pool?

You can expect larger, full-amenity gym chains to have a pool. They are likely more costly options ($40+ monthly) that have a larger square-footage footprint. Many franchise-based gyms aren't large enough, or have the staff support and maintain a pool.
However, we've seen "HVLP" (high-value-low-price) gyms start to include pools as part of their amenity sets as well.

Well, why don't they have pools?

Many different reasons. One large one: cost. Pools are big, heavy, and hard to maintain. They take up tons of space—not to mention the need for locker rooms, showers, cleaning crews and their supplies. Adding this amazing benefit would drive up the monthly membership cost, and chains that charge $10 to $30 usually have other types of (smaller, less expensive) amenities instead.

Benefits of gyms with pools

Since only a handful of gym chains offer pools, we see it as a key separator as an offering to their members. They absolutely understand the benefits of pools:

Improve strength - The natural resistance of water makes every stroke a resistance exercise, aiding in toning and strengthening muscles. Many gym chains offer group fitness classes—in the water—to help build your body up!
Increase endurance - Consistent swimming sessions lead to improved endurance as the body becomes adept at utilizing oxygen more efficiently. Have you ever seen an aqua Zumba class? You can see dance movements translate into a full blown cardio workout.
Calming and relaxing - The gentle lull of water brings a calming effect, reducing stress and promoting mental relaxation. We've see many members take leisurely swims in the early morning hours of a heated pool—pretty serene!
