Find a friend who has the same phone, get them to switch batteries with you (battery has no effect on the phone but normally has a dot on the back which when it becomes wet turns to a fully red color...if it's never gotten wet should be white with tiny red dots)
After switching batteries, take it to wherever you bought it and say your phone doesn't work. Don't talk about the pool, just say it's jacked up and you want a replacement. Normally you don't even need insurance and can get away with it.
Or, ask to upgrade to a better phone (give them the old phone with the new battery). Probably cheaper than buying a brand new phone, and you get a better one out of the situation.
