There have been a few thefts at the pools, but considering the use they get they really are few and far in between.
Actually there are quite a few thefts, and lots of time it is just small stuff - articles of clothing, swimming gear, etc. My spouse and friends use the sport pools all the time, and this is what staff has told them. My suggestion is to travel light, and put the essentials in a baggie near the pool where you are exercising.
