Anonymous the sentence "There is not any swimming pools in our city" why "to be" in singular form and not in plural??
Why? Because someone made a mistake.

Sometimes, though, in casual conversation, the contracted form "there's" is used with plurals, thus:

There's not any swimming pools in our city.
