    WHOA!  Serious misunderstanding:  if I'm getting what you are saying,
you applied the "underwater" texture to the top of the pool.  This is incorrect.
It is properly applied to the WALLS of the pool, but only the parts that are
(surprise!) under the water.

    For the surface of the water, see the "Light Swells" thread in the
mailing list.
