Here you go mate:-
Seamless texture, just load into bump map slot in MXED and turn on Normal map mode. Adjust tiling to suit.
Result for flat plane:-

It's just a wizard:- water mxm with the normal map applied at 30 for that render.
There is a ground plane set 4 meters below the water plane, to give the illusion of depth. (Checking that scene again, the mxm for the ground plane has a pavement texture applied, which explains the irregularities you can see in the render)
Glad to help,
Tim.

Like Tim suggests, it's much better to use a bump map for subtle effects like this on a pool surface. Looks great, Tim!
If you want some more "action", displacement might be the way to go:

is this the same map for displacement and bump , with the bump map at 1/10 size ?
looks good too but more sea than pool
