Kind of like the, "finish your dinner, there are starving children in Africa" where the obvious is regardless of if you eat it or throw it away it'll never teleport across the ocean. Point being, if pools didn't exist, those people still wouldn't have water. Call their government.

Well, those olympic swimmers make big money, and about 1/3 of their money goes to taxes. This way the government is able to fund helping those people that are dying from lack of clean water and dehydration.

Most Olympic sized swimming pools aren't actually used by Olympic swimmers.
