A swimming pool filled with oil or syrup?

Depends on the viscosity of the liquid. Oils vary widely in their viscosity from very thin oils (which flow easily) to very thick oils and syrup is quite thick. So, the answer depends upon the type of oil given. By the way, many oils are lighter than water and it would be difficult if not impossible to swim in such a fluid, since we will tend to sink to the bottom.

Im going to say you would feel a stronger force in the oil, assuming that they both have the same constant temperature. If it were cold, i think oil would be come less viscous than syrup. But then you think about trying to swim in it, ah never mind... I say oil.

That depends only on the density of the oil or the syrup. The one with the larger density will give you the strongest force.

AS THE SUGAR SYRUP HAS MORE DENSITY THAN THE OIL,IT EXERTS MORE UPTHRUST.HENCE,WE FEEL MORE FORCE IN SYRUP FILLED SWIMMING POOL.
