Why are they playing “beach water polo” in a pool?

It's an urban discipline... shorter pool and less people playing at a time.

At past beach games, like the Asian Beach Games and Mediterranean Beach Games, the organizers floated pontoons out into the surf and created a rectangle shaped playing area with those. The players then had to contend with the surf/tide during match, while also having a place to sit/rest. I’m not sure if that’s what the idea here is, or if it’s just what you said @intoronto

Sorry the last part cut out for me. It was supposed to say FINA ended up calling it beach water polo to distinguish it from the version at the Olympics. At the 2019 world's, the demonstration event was held at the competition venue for the Olympic discipline....with the court being formed to the 3x3 shape etc.
