Sparky,
Yes, the code requirements for bonding and grounding make the pool a current carrying conductor. The current is limited by the impedance of the parallel paths and the most current will be on the grounded conductor as long as it is intact. The neutral current would also flow on the following, listed in order from most to least current. Metal underground water pipe system, TV cable shield, ufer ground, pool bonding and lastly on the driven ground rod.
