    Default Is "I'm in the swimming pool" correct?

    At the swimming pool, I heard a domestic helper speaking on the phone, she said "I am in the swimming pool". She was waiting for children. Then she would pick up the children.

    I wonder if "I am in the swimming pool" is correct in the above context?

    Thanks.

    Unless she's actually in the water, 'at' would be more natural,
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
