I own a caulking company, we caulk over 200 pools a season in the mid atlantic. The caulking we use is a two part poly urathane caulk. You can use a one part polyurathane caulk as well it's just not as good. This joint is an expansion joint that seperates the coping from the deck (concrete, pavers, etc). When you use sertain caulking material in conjunction with their speciefied primer they are considered submersible.

Remove Existing Coping: If replacement is required, carefully remove the old coping material. This may involve using tools such as a chisel or a jackhammer to break up and remove the old coping. Prepare the Substrate: Ensure that the pool's edge and surrounding area are properly prepared. This may involve leveling the substrate, repairing any damage, and creating a smooth, stable surface for the new coping. Install New Coping: Lay the new coping material in place, starting from one end and working your way around the pool. Use mortar or adhesive appropriate for the chosen material to secure the coping in position. Grout and Seal: Once the coping is in place, grout the joints between the coping pieces to create a seamless appearance. Seal the coping to protect it from water, UV rays, and other environmental factors. Finish and Clean: After the grout and sealant have set, clean the pool coping and the surrounding area thoroughly.
