I would use that water texture i attached and use the wave bump map

Why a bumpmap? Add a noise modifier to the plane and make the plane with alot of segments, that way u can even animate your water moving and you can see how it would look right away and not wait on a render.

Because a bumpmap makes a nice wave effect.
I made a pool before and the wave bumpmap worked great...
