I went to the pool.

I went to a swimming pool.

ここではthe (そのプール）ではなくa (あるプール）なのでa が正しいです。またpool はビリヤードを指す場合もあるので、水泳に行ったのならswimming pool とした方がいいでしょう。

This Sunday I went to the pool with my friend.

The swimming pool was so small than I had imagined that I was disappointed.

一行目で出てきたプールの事を話していますから、これはthe です。想像していたよりもずっと小さかったというような場合、than を使って比較します。また、so 〜that・・・（ とても〜なので・・・だ）の構文が成立しますので、とても小さかったのでがっかりした、ということができます。この文章だとプールががっかりしたことになります。
