Correction - 2 hot (2 * 120) = 240 volts

common - neutral

U R 100% correct

PS: 240 motor for pool ? hmmm, learn something everyday The cable from the breaker box to the pool should be a 3 conductor. In that 3 conductor cable there should be a bare ground wire (the ground wire is not included in a cable wire count). The pool ground should be connected to that bare wire, not the white neutral. This bare ground wire is then grounded back at the breaker panel to provide a direct path to trip the breaker in case of a short circuit. Code requires a GFCI ahead of the pool load to detect ground faults. See related links below on GFCI's
