If your watch is fairly new then no, water cannot get into your watch. The main seals are inside the tube around the stem, not inside the crown.

There are many watches with 50m/100m rating that have no screw-down crown. Nomos Club @ 100m comes to mind. A few feet of water in a pool won't hurt anything. A new watch means good seals which will handle this easily. Worst case scenario is you get water in warrantied watch and you have to send it off for warranty service!

You're fine as long as you didn't dive down deep or something like that. Swimming in a pool, should not be a problem.
