Engine coolant can enter an automatic transmission if your automobile has an integrated radiator and Transmission Fluid cooler, and a leak occurs in same. Many automobiles have integrated radiators / transmission coolers.
Another less likely scenario is that the vehicle was recently flooded or parked in flood waters.

What would cause water to be in the transmission of 98 Chevy pickup?
I can't see any reason for water to get in the transmission unless it went under water from a flood or crossing a stream. If engine coolant is getting into the transmission I would blame the transmission oil cooler in the radiator in which case the radiator would need replacement and the transmission flushed professionally. If the vehicle was driven with coolant mixed in with the transmission fluid you will probably have transmission failure before long.
