Answer:

by using it's buoyant or floating effect by Archimedes.

the buoyant force act on the astronauts body and make he/ she feels like in low gravity.

the buoyant force equation is

F = Density of liquid x earth gravitational field x volume of astronauts body and suit.

the Weight of astronauts in the pools will be less than in the land or air.

Weight in water = weight in air/land - buoyant force

so the astronauts will feel like in the outer space with low gravity.
