Given the pool was put on top of a rugby pitch, which resulted in the shallower depth because they didn't want to destroy the pitch (a full depth pool would have weighed too much) - unlikely. The pool isn't a permanent structure, it's not going to remain there after the olympics are done.

I would be very surprised if they re-use it at all - an "above ground" pool of that size seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth to maintain over the long run.

I can't speak to the French ecosystem, but in the US these pools often (usually?) get resold to swim clubs who find some land and build buildings around them.
Sometimes they just move the pool to a new city and set it up in an arena for another championship.
