Well this deviates a bit into economics and philosophy, but the reality is that a swimming pool is a luxury that is expensive to build and to maintain (and I suspect this is worse on Long Island than here in south-central Arizona, where you must heat it much of the year or at least prevent the pipes and the motor from freezing). Even in the wealthy countries (to say nothing of most of the world's people), individual ownership of a swimming pool must be the exception rather than the rule. In most cases this is an amenity that must be shared, if it's available at all.

If you have a relative who has her own pool (as you implied your mother does), you are doing better than most. I remember reading in a news story about water rights that on the White Mountain Apache Reservation in eastern Arizona there is only one swimming pool for all 55,000 residents. So, rather than think of yourself as a loser for not being wealthy enough to have a swimming pool of your own, you should concentrate on overcoming your anxiety about swimming fully clothed in a shared amenity and dealing with the possibility that others may see you.

Ask yourself what is the worst that could happen. Would your mother disown you and refuse ever to speak to you again if she were to see you swimming fully clothed in her pool? Somehow I doubt it. If you help her maintain it and keep it clean, that will also work in your favor. If she or others are inquisitive, simply say, "That's what I like to do." After all, there are far worse hobbies to have, and if you are considerate, clean up after yourself, and don't drip water all over the place, it will be hard to object.
