 Actually, it might be a problem. If there are bacteria present in the pool, if the pool is not clean, they could get in her vagina. Also if your girlfriend is sensitive to the pool chemicals, they could harm her sensitive vaginal tissue.
Check it out:
"In general, water itself does not pose a problem; the bigger issue becomes what exactly is in the water. Water containing salt, chlorine or bacteria can be forced into the vagina by the thrusting motion of sex; this could lead to irritation or infection.
Having sex in a pool or Jacuzzi poses a higher risk of infection. According to research at the University of California, Santa Barbara, water teeming with microbes can get forced into the vagina. “Sometimes residential (and commercial) hot tubs, pools and Jacuzzis are not chlorinated adequately, increasing the amount of bacteria they contain and the likelihood of an infection. Even if the water has a chlorine level in accordance to government standards, there is still a risk of infection.” Also, “chlorine may disrupt healthy bacteria and change the natural pH in the vagina leading to a yeast infection.”

I expect many many people have had sex in a pool with no problems, mind you, so you can choose to take the risk or not. Just know what the risks might be.
Take care!

 If having a bath (during which she presumable would be cleaning her bitsies) doesn't hurt her, sex in a pool won't either.

 Completely harmless but make sure that it's your own pool as it might not be nice for other people to have to swim with the results of your activity.

 No it is quite safe to have sex in a pool just ensure that you were a condom to prevent either of you catching an STI and make sure you'se do it privately and not in public. Good luck.
