It doesn't. It floats.

Ice doesn't sink, it float. Like most things that float, ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water. Ice is about 9% less dense. When ice forms, it takes up about 9% more space than it did as a liquid. Thus, a 1 liter container of ice weighs less than a 1 liter container of liquid water, and the lighter material floats to the top.

chemicals in your pool water like chlorine have different densities and freezing tempters than water so depending on what the other chemicals are and how much is mixed in your pool ice could sink. Pool water is a mixture and not a compound so the ice that sinks my not be water, it could be a chemical the has a higher freezing temp and heavier density than water.

because the pool water is denser than the ice

i thought it melts, but besides, it floats so that's not possible.
