Why is it feminine?

Piscina is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "piscīna" (a fish pond or swimming pool), which was feminine in Latin and retained that gender when Romance languages evolved. Latin assigned femininity to this word likely due to its connection to "piscis" (fish) through a diminutive or related formation, and Spanish preserved the original gender class.
