Okay you are REALLY confusing your STDs up.

First, genital herpes does not cause warts. Genital herpes causes sores or blisters. HPV (Human papillomavirus) causes genital warts. Herpes and HPV are two COMPLETELY different viruses that have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Second, no, you can NOT get herpes from someone in a swimming pool. It's not like the virus is floating around in the water or anything. The only way you would be able to get genital herpes from someone in the pool is if you were having sex with them (vaginal, anal, or oral) or direct skin to skin contact like if you were rubbing genital areas together (like dry humping). Source(s): Personal experience. I have had both genital herpes and HPV for over 5 years. I have both genital warts and cervical cancer from HPV.
Yep. And a bunch more, too.
Herpes simplex virus is actually a very weak virus and can not live outside the body very long. The chlorine in the water would also certainly kill any active bacteria anyway.

By the way warts are quite different than the herps.
That is what the chlorine is for to prevent that sort of thing.
Warts are caused by HPV virus. Herpes is caused by HSV virus. Both are different. You can not get herpes even if somebody suffering from it, swims in the same pool. The chlorinated water will kill the virus.
