don’t think there is a pool in the White House anymore

from Wikipedia:

In 1969, to accommodate the growing number of reporters assigned to the White House, President Richard Nixon had the indoor swimming pool, which had been installed by the March of Dimes for Franklin D. Roosevelt, covered and turned into press offices and a lounge that could double as a briefing room.

Time to reenact that scene from It's a Wonderful Life where the gym floor opens up and everyone ends up in the pool. Press pool, indeed!
