Can a concrete pool pop?
If you mean can a concrete pool pop up out of the ground then the answer is Yes it can. All you need is an empty or partially empty concrete pool and a lot of ground water around it once the ground water around the outside of the pool builds up enough the pool will start to float. I have seen it happen several times over the years. To avoid this happening most pools have a hydrostatic valve fitted in the bottom of the pool to allow ground water into the pool when there is a build up of water pressure outside the pool it flows into the pool to stop it from floating.

I've heard that it's not a good Idea. If the ground water level is high it forces the pool to rise out of the ground like a boat on top of water. Unlike concrete that is heavy. Fiberglass can float. It may not come out of the ground all the way. I suggest that you speak with a pool company and ask their advise.
