It's logistics. They are moving swimming to the opening ceremony venue, so they can't have it ready to host competition the next day.

Yeah, a temporary pool is a dumb idea but it's only because of more people can make it to the stands. Swimming doesn't really attract that much interest since there are only a few nations that compete for medals. The medal roster in athletics is much bigger in comparison.
