No — teak is one of the lowest-maintenance woods you can put by a pool. You have two easy options: leave it alone and let it weather naturally to a soft silver-gray, or wipe on teak oil once a year to keep the warm golden color (clean or hose down the piece and let it dry fully before oiling). Either way is structurally fine; it's purely a question of which look you prefer.
