Why did I get nauseous at the pool?
I haven't been to the pool in years, since swimming's usually not my thing.. I am pretty active but more like running than swimming activities..
So last time I went to the pool, I think I got motion sickness and got really nauseous in the water, so I had to leave after only being there for like 10 mins because I was getting a headache then too..
I don't feel like that in the bathtub so I dont know what it is though?
I've also noticed recently that when playing Call of Duty, staring at that screen, I also seem to get motion sickness easily and start getting a headache and a little nauseous...
Anyone know why though??

The symptoms sound like vertigo, which can be triggered by a number of causes, the most common of which is an inner ear infection.
Vertigo can also be caused by other factors including age. When I was a kid, for example, I loved roller coasters. Once I hit my late 30s I could not even ride a mild one without feeling nauseous. I also notice that I experience mild vertigo when playing first-person video games, but usually only when I'm very close to the screen.
Have you had a cold or sinus issues recently? Those could have lingering effects on the ear as well.
If the symptoms persist I'd suggest seeing a doctor, especially if you're over 40. While most causes can be written off as situational vertigo can be a side effect of more-serious conditions like high blood pressure.
