My iPhone won't charge after dropping it in the pool

Water damage, is usually fatal and cannot be repaired. You can try to let the phone dry and most definitely do NOT try to charge it in its current condition. It should be powered off, if possible and left in a dry place to dry for a couple days. DO NOT put it in RICE. That can cause more damage. If after a couple of days, it doesn't power on, the phone is a total loss and will need to be replaced. Apple will never attempt to repair a water damaged iPhone.
