I think the pressure is the same if it is one meter under for both.

Pressure = hdg
h height
d density
g acceleration due to gravity
Lake Tahoe is a fresh water lake so the density of the water in the lake and the swimming pool should be the same.
The pressure should be the same.

Depends on elevation and location. A swimming pool at sea level or below will have a slightly greater amount of air above it than the amount of air at Lake Tahoe's elevation. Also the gravitational pull is different at the poles compared to the Equator. However these differnces are often ignored.
